If you utilize pipewire as your audio server, VRChat has a tendancy to drop multiple seconds of audio over displayport connections under load for HMDs like the Valve Index [this workaround is required not to drop audio from time to time](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Troubleshooting#stuttering-audio-in-virtual-machine).
Similar tuning of pulseaudio can fix the issue if encountered there.
Please consider your opsec in relation to all VR API input including poses, all voice communication, unsandboxed code execution, the EAC anticheat system which occasionally probes system proc info and much more, and the game maintaining a memory buffered audio video recording of the window contents tied to the report system.
