User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/126.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Steps to reproduce:
Example with Shaka Player: https://www.oscarnord.com/shaka-test/
Stream that is used in above example: https://storage.googleapis.com/shaka-demo-assets/tos-surround/dash.mpd
If you start with 6 channels, then change 2, the browser does not play the sound, if you then change to 6, the 6 channel does play. If you start with 2 channels, all other channel transitions work fine.
This works as expected in Chrome, Edge and Safari.
Issue created in the Shaka Player repo: https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-player/issues/6980
Actual results:
No audio is playing when switching track (audio segments are loaded correctly in the player).
Expected results:
Firefox should be able to switch between to a track with fewer audio channels even when starting on a track with 6 channels.
