Could resetting PRAM stop audio stuttering?

MacBookPro early 2015. i7 and 16GB RAM.

After MacOS upgrade from 10.14.6 to 12.7.1, I have a third party app that is stuttering on audio when menu drop items are chosen, including clicking from window to window, and File>Open New Finder Window.

It stutters worse when I open Apple Music.

Could it be PRAM, or more like a processor overload?

Anyone have any experience evaluating Activity Monitor charts, graphs and CORE charts?

I've attached one snapshot with several apps open and active. Looks like all 4 Cores were stretched at time of stutter, yet CPU for app that stutters did not peak out.

Thanks.

First thing would be to see if your third-party app is fully qualified on Monterey 12.7.1.

If it's the KJams app in your screenshot, well, even they say they are only in Beta with their 64bit version. And no mention of anything beyond Mojave (10.14.x).
