1899245 - Audio Distortion when skipping around or unpausing videos (no fade in and out)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Chobits1717]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:126.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/126.0

Steps to reproduce:

Unpausing, skipping around, and occasionally watching videos creates a momentary audio distortion and audio "crunch". This does not happen on locally-stored videos or in Edge. More noticeable with external speakers, with built-in ones it'll often manifest as an audio pop instead.

Just started tonight out of the blue, without even restarting Firefox.

Actual results:

Audio distorted in an uncomfortable way, making it briefly sound almost unstable.

Expected results:

Audio picks up right where it left off without any playback issues.

Did some more testing, the distortion mainly happens with speakers plugged in (the distortion is simply replaced by a short period of silence using my built-in speakers instead). Seems to be most prevalent right after Windows switches audio output. Seemingly it stops after a short time, though that's the only pattern I could discern. Does not happen at all in Edge or embedded videos in Discord, only in Firefox.

Still having this bug, unfortunately. Any way to fix this?

Close this, I figured out that it was an issue with my audio jack.
