Hello,

I’m experiencing an issue on my openSuse Tumbleweed system where the volume in the OS mixer gets reduced for certain YouTube videos. For example, it drops to around 52%. I can set it back to 100%, but as soon as I skip forward or backward in the video, the volume is reduced again.

I’ve tried using Chrome, and the issue does not occur there. I also started Firefox in safe mode to disable all extensions, but the problem still persists. I also have a Laptop with Tumbleweed installed and there this happens too.

I can reliably reproduce it with this video:

I have already posted this in the firefox fourm, but nobody answered after 8 days. Firefox version is 148.0.2 (64-Bit)

Does it happen in X11?
What desktop?
Have not seen that issue.

Just played the video with no issues. See if it happens while on a live usb stick.

First of a!l crazy ahh video. Then the bug you’re describing is nothing new:

Try reinstalling PusleAudio and/or Pavucontrol
