My mother is a piano teacher and during covid had to give lessons over zoom.
Zoom deliberately degrades audio quality to save bandwidth.
There is discussion on this here:

Are the speakers and headset both plugged into the PCI-E soundcard?
Have you tried plugging into the onboard audio ports directly

Yes.
Have you monitored resource, cpu/memory, usage when you're experiencing this

Can you collect an example? Like, record through the air (e.g. with a
digital audio recorder maybe even in your phone) a few seconds of the
