So it may have something to do on how both browsers send the audio to the pulseaudio backend vs on how the other apps I mentioned do (sample ratio perhaps?) It's not constant, but it's pretty noticeable every few seconds at least. When using the browsers the crackling starts after a few seconds into the video. On the other hand, if I download a video using youtube-dl and play it with something like smplayer, there are no issues.

The videos I noticed were conan o'brien's videos when he is talking to someone (there are a lot, just search youtube and chose any official video), but I confirm it's also pretty noticeable on netflix too.

My problem (when using faststream option) seems to be happening mostly on streaming sites like youtube or netflix, both on chrome and firefox. Also had a meeting using jitsi meet electron client and it worked wonders (both audio input and output). My device is exactly A90P, USB-C version, latest DFU (the one that makes it show as Aria 90T, as you can find on manufacturer's site).Īudio recording does not seem to be affected: I tried with audacity and recording seems fine. I had already started to report this in the comments of the MR:īut now that it's been merged, I thought it would make more sense to open an issue. This is about the new faststream bluetooth codec.

Smplayer youtube keeps buffering
