Also tested on the fresh install of Fedora 40 in a VM. Not a HW related issue.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I could not repro on a V125 or V127 build on my Windows machine. When the higher quality music stream, the loudness increases but the speed does not change.
dxdt: Can you create a log with media preset using this very short instruction video (https://paul.cx/public/about-logging-presentation.webm) ?

Reporter, can you try on Firefox Nightly? I've very recently fixed something related, and we're having the fix landed in current release version, but it will take some time.

It's really not nice to tell someone to sit and watch the video when you can just write down the instruction here or put a link from the official Mozilla website. Please stay on the platform and refrain from hijacking people off the site. Stay FOSS. Can't believe you're the mod here.

Yeah. The nightly works fine(129.0a1). What was the commit if you don't mind me asking? Interesting bug.

Our extensive experience shows that video instruction result in much better chance of getting logs from users. I made this video, own this domain, am a long time Mozilla employee, and have been telling users to get us logs using it for years. Nobody has ever said anything about it, and certainly not with the tone you employed.

While we could certainly have added written instructions, and most likely will in the future because it is the right thing to do, please be respectful towards our community members, and especially towards a contributor does excellent work in our community and provided a way for your bug to be characterized rather quickly after you filing it.

Bug 1900972 has the patch, simple programming mistake, this will percolate through all our releases shortly but is for now only in Nightly in Beta.

Yeah man. Who needs the freedom of speech? Yes! Flag the comment. Hide it so no one gets offended. You have the power! Assume everyone is not capable of reading complicated technical documents and be very condescending by posting everything in video, in your own personal domain! Without knowing how unprofessional that is! See how said it is that you're doing to yourself and the community?

Such a sad era the internet is going through.

dxdt, this is a polite reminder that this is our professional working environment as much as it is our issue tracker, and I'm asking you to refrain from making further comments that don't move this bug towards a resolution.
