No issues with audio from youtube, but scummVM and sunvox crackle in a way that sounds a bit like the results of throttling to me.
uConsole is running the latest bookworm desktop from the uConsole OS images download page. Before discovering the bookworm version, I had a different (older?) uConsole OS installed, and scummVM sounded fine. Also sounds fine when using the uConsole ubuntu.
I might need a little hand-holding, regrettably. I’m a pi and linux noob.

Your right it is pretty much throttling, you can play around with settings and performances. Not so sure on scummvm but with sunvox you can try other versions of it which work better on less powerful stuff
I fixed this for Retroarch just now so hopefully the same steps will help you.
sudo mkdir /etc/pipewire
sudo cp /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf
Then after that, edit that file and make sure the following lines are uncommented and with these values:
default.clock.quantum = 2048
default.clock.min-quantum = 2048
default.clock.max-quantum = 4096
Once done. Restart the service for the config to take effect:
systemctl --user restart pipewire.service pipewire-pulse.service
This fixed sound stutter and audio cracks in both Box64 and Retroarch for me.
