User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:75.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/75.0

Steps to reproduce:

Play a song or video that has strong volume peaks, although the best example to play it is the typical earrape videos that reproduce very loud sound. For the attached image where I compare the different browsers, I have used the same song at the same time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIbV3XAJNL0
Obviously the YouTube volume and all the settings were the same in all three browsers.

Actual results:

In the Windows sound mixer, when playing music or other loud sound in firefox, the green bar exceeds 100%, at first it might seem like a Windows 10 error, but it only happens with Firefox, neither with Edge, nor with Chrome. At first I hear it the same in all browsers, but it is strange. As far as I know Firefox does not bring any system that amplifies or modifies in any way the music that is played on it.

Expected results:

Well, what you see in the image regarding Chrome and Edge, that the volume does not exceed 100%.
