YouTube playback issue

I'm using an S21 with OneUI 4.1. Recently I have been facing issues with playing videos on YouTube, where the video remain paused for the first few seconds and the audio plays normally. The video then syncs back in after a few seconds. In some cases, it is that the video starts with its frame skipped some seconds ahead and it only starts playing when the audio syncs up with it.

Is this an issue that someone else is also facing? What are the possible ways to resolve this? Can't confirm whether this happens on other video applications, although I do recall some issues with instagram reels also.
