Steps to reproduce:

  • Go to youtube.com, twitch.tv or any other site that plays videos with audio.
  • Start to play a video.
  • Wait some seconds until the video actually starts.
  • If you start another video, both audio parts stop for some seconds, before it resumes.

Actual results:

There are audio problems. This does not happen with chrome, so I suspect it is a firefox problem.

I noticed it today on twitch.tv and started to investigate. I think it came with the latest update.

This does not happen, when I mute the audio. The video starts playing right away.

What I tried to "fix it"

  • Private mode
  • Trouble shoot mode
  • Separate clean profile

Expected results:

Just play the video with audio, without any issues :)

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.

Component: Untriaged → Audio/Video: Playback
Product: Firefox → Core

This is not a firefox issue. This ticket can be closed, because no need to fix.

Somehow the stupid effing windows update botched the sound driver.

I downgraded firefox to check help you guys to find the bug quicker, but all other versions had the same issue. I also noticed that spotify was lagging. Funny enough, non of my games seem to be impacted.

I reinstalled the sound driver and now firefox is as awesome as I expected it.

Sorry for wasting you precious time.
