Playhead moving in a chunks rather than smoothly.

Hello again, everyone.

After updating to 24, the issue is back again. I've tried the suggestions listed in this thread, as well as mucking around with the timeline / playback settings but to no avail. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you mstegner, isn't the issue we're discussing the playhead movement during playback?

In my case, the playhead position counters in the program window and the timeline also change in leaps together with the playheads, despite fluid video playback. But the counter in the Effects control and Source window runs normally.

I'm using the latest driver available for my graphics card, released last week, Nvidia Studio Driver version 537.42.

The issue I mention is specifically for jerky Video Playback.  The CTI not moving smoothly points to an out of date graphics driver.  I recommend you update your graphics drivers to appropriate drivers and see if that helps.

I also have this problem. The playhead in the timeline and in the program window don't keep up with the playback, they jump to position every few seconds or when playback stops. It's strange that the video isn't jumpy but the plaheads are.

I have only noticed it since the last update to version 23.6.0 (Windows 10). I tried changing the audio settings suggested by mstegner but the problem persists.

There must be another cause for this, please help if you have found a solution.

It turns off the audio input in Premiere, and just uses the audio output as the clock source.  Some systems (I don't know which or why yet) have issues with the audio input.  I think it is due to a sample rate or clocking issue but I can't tell why and can't reliably reproduce on my end.
If anyone has any info please add it here.

Your recommendation of Preferences>Audio Hardware>Default Input... to "No Input" seems to have fixed it! Can you tell me what those settings do? Thank you.

 Hi. Hope these work.

Can you post a screen shot of "Preferences>Audio Hardware..." and "Preferences>Playback..." so we can try to diagnose the issue?
Then, try setting "Preferences>Audio Hardware>Default Input..." to "No Input" and see if that helps?

Added: I'm also finding that it will work properly for a while, until I make a change to something. Then it will throw a fit and move at the speed of a snail again.

I've just tried removing the video to leave only audio, reducing the playback quality and saving the project but none of these have helped either.

Thank you.
