1751145 - Intermittent audio crackle on MacOS

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1749790

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect, P3)

When watching media on my 2019 Mac Book Pro I notice intermittent audio crackling. The crackles are brief, I'd say less than half a second in duration. However, the crackle/garbling is significant -- the audio is complete garbage for that short amount of time.

I've noticed the issue takes place once or twice during hour long watching sessions of media on Netflix. This has happened several times over such sessions, so I think it's not just a one off. I don't have cause to think this is DRM related, but similarly, have not ruled that out.

It's possible this is not a Firefox specific issue and is system wide, but am reporting just in case.

Please let me know if there is further information I can provide to assist in debugging.

Thanks Bryce, we're looking into that, and we've disabled audio remoting on macOS for the time being.
