Ok so I found a solution! After reading through the referenced thread by @br0kenpixel I saw someone else had mentioned another thread, and someone there linked a solution that worked: https://github.com/DanielWeiner/tas2781-fix-16IRX8H/blob/main/README.md. And that’s my exact model of laptop (16IRX8H). So I ran the script, and it seems to be working great! It looks like it is indeed a couple of power-save issues causing the problem just as @glb had suspected. Thank you everyone, there’s no way I would have found this solution without your help.
