(fresh profile) 1. Navigate to any page with a <video> element on it - Preferably with human speech, since it's much more noticeable that way - Suggested links: https://vimeo.com/64654583, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWD1Fpdd4Pc, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyfBQmvr2Hc 2. Open the JS Console 3. Run `document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 3.5` (any number > 2 works, but higher speeds are much more noticeable) 4. Listen to the audio (there's nothing wrong with the video) Expected results: Smooth audio playback with no audible stuttering, skipping, or artifacts Observed results: Audio with skipping and stuttering, especially noticeable when there's human speech Notes: - Playback works just fine on WebKit and its derivatives (Opera, Chrome, Safari, Electron-based apps) - Playback is also just fine on VLC - Reproduced on: my 2014 MacBook Pro, a 2013 Mac Mini, and a 1st-gen MacBook, all running macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1654480/comments/2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2018-01-03T09:15:41+00:00 Suro001 wrote: I can't repro the issue. I suspect you network connection is not fast enough so playback can consume data without underflow. Can you try to download the file and play it on the local storage? Thanks!

Networking is not the issue since video playback works perfectly fine in WebKit-based browsers. For example, compare the playback of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0Tsa3smr1w on Firefox at 3.5 speed v the same on Safari: audio on Safari is much smoother than FF, especially since FF skips audio every few seconds. Human speech is practically undescipherable on FF, but is smooth on Safari.

You can clearly tell that some audio segments are completely skipped over if you slow down the playback. The audio from Opera isn't that different, from what I can hear, to that of Chrome's. I haven't tested it on Safari. I can upload wav files for analysis if you need them.

Chrome plays back audio smoothly at 4x. Firefox sounds like it's dropping samples after 2x. This might not be problematic for music, but extremely problematic for speech. I started digging into the Firefox code for playback adjustments. It looks like Firefox uses the SoundTouch library: https://dxr.mozilla.org /mozilla-central/source/media/libsoundtouch/src/RateTransposer.h. I'm not sure if this bug exists upstream.

For example 8 seconds into the Firefox sample (27 seconds in original) is the line "So for people who don't know" and the word "for" is missing. The intro tune at 5 seconds has a wavy max amplitude when it should be relatively flat and have a faster beat. I recorded my own sample on Nightly 64 Ubuntu 18.04 and was able to reproduce the issue.
