Firefox Audio Stuttering

Open ldsands opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

First off thanks for the extension I have been using it for years and really appreciate your work!

I have an issue with the Firefox version of this extension. I don't know if it is your extension in particular but all audio when sped up in Firefox becomes a bit choppy. I've tried it on many different sites and the problem persists (YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, seemingly all audio in HTML5 videos). This is never an issue in chrome with your extension. As far as replicating it this has been an issue as long as I've been using this with Firefox (I switched from chrome about 6 months ago) through all of the updates since the switch to quantum (I was not using Firefox before that however so I do not know if it affected earlier versions). It becomes very obvious and hard to understand when reaching speeds of 2.6 but I can hear it sometimes when the speed is at 2.0.

It's a Firefox issue and it bugs me too.

We should escalate it further to Mozilla.

Here are some bug reports: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1344756 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1424491 from the following Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/73htw6/video_speed_control_does_not_work_well_at_faster/

Is there any way to bring attention back to this bug? It was assigned to someone but it seems as though it is no longer assigned. I'm no developer so I can't fix.

I was having a similar issue just a few days ago, but I think it was at least partly do to interaction with another add-on for controlling audio panning, but now any add-on i try that controls audio panning just makes it so that Video Speed Control faills to change the video speed. The number changes, but the video speed just stays normal. Not sure if Mozilla changed something in a Firefox update to fix the stuttering that broke the ability of more than one add-on to control playback as a side-effect, or what.
