[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1906741] Re: Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio
Once I discovered the connection with speech-dispatcher on my system (as noted above), I did some related searches and found a reddit article (https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/7n5vn6/linux_firefox_and_speechdispatcher_are_making/) related to this that indicates if you disable both the webspeech option and the reader it solves it: reader.parse-on-load.enabled false media.webspeech.synth.enabled false And this also seems to be a duplicate (or at least related) bug report to this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/speech-dispatcher/+bug/1821439 And other variants of Linux are reporting Firefox speech-dispatcher issues as well: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1936901 I had previously experimented with only the webspeech option, to no avail, but I have now disabled both the webspeech option and the reader on mine. So far, I haven't had any issues with garbled sound since, but only time will tell. I suppose it would still be an issue for those who need text-to-speech support on their system and can't disable these things. ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #1936901 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1936901 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906741 Title: Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Opening certain applications/websites at the same time as Firefox causes the audio to become garbled.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1906741] Re: Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio
This happened again to me today. I was in a MSTeams chat session (standalone app, not the web version) and opened a webpage in Firefox that garbled the sound of the meeting in progress. I noticed that when it happened that in the system audio mixer/volume control manager, there was suddenly a lot of entries for "speech-dispatcher" that previously weren't there. And this was also reflected in the list from the `ps` command: 188672 0.0 0.0 450364 8304 ?Sl 11:50 0:00 /usr/lib/speech-dispatcher-modules/sd_espeak-ng /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak-ng.conf 188678 0.0 0.0 360052 5660 ?Sl 11:50 0:00 /usr/lib/speech-dispatcher-modules/sd_dummy /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/dummy.conf 188681 0.0 0.0 360084 5972 ?Sl 11:50 0:00 /usr/lib/speech-dispatcher-modules/sd_generic /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/mary-generic.conf 188684 0.0 0.0 360096 5492 ?Sl 11:50 0:00 /usr/lib/speech-dispatcher-modules/sd_generic /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak-generic.conf 188687 0.0 0.0 159724 2236 ?Ssl 11:50 0:00 /usr/bin/speech-dispatcher --spawn --communication-method unix_socket --socket-path /run/user/1000/speech-dispatcher/speechd.sock Without touching the webpage or Firefox, I used the command-line to kill the one that looked to be the main speech-dispatcher process, which was the 188687 process ID in this case (which also closed the other speech-dispatcher processes). And immediately, the audio cleared up and I was able to continue browsing the webpage while the MSTeams meeting continued. This makes me wonder if the problem is actually Firefox or if it's speech-dispatcher -- or perhaps it's the data that Firefox is streaming to speech-dispatcher?? Like the others in this thread, I have experimented with the speech settings in Firefox to no avail. If there's a magic setting to disable it, I haven't found it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906741 Title: Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Opening certain applications/websites at the same time as Firefox causes the audio to become garbled.

Same issue here. Garbled noises are being heard on top of my music (playing in the background via Rhythmbox) after starting Firefox and visiting some random website. My desktop is an AMD Ryzen on a Gigabyte X570 mobo with an nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GPU. Like others noted, the noises seem stop for a while when I change the Output Device from "Line Out - Starship/Matisse" to "HDMI / DisplayPort X - GP106 High Definition Audio Controller". But after some minutes playback (or perhaps visiting some other page with firefox?), the garbled noises appear again...

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1906741] Re: Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio
I have seen this happening for months, though not very often. But it happened yesterday and today again. Music playing in the background (via Audacious) is garbled. This usually happens when I open a website in a new tab. Sounds like a bitcrusher effect to me. I can reverse the effect by closing tabs, but I do not see a clear cause-and-effect pattern. There are not too many tabs open (< 15), it began when I opened Red Hat's site, but I had to close three other tabs before it reverted to normal. Also, the sites did not even play Audio, none of them. I'm on Linux for more than 15 years. This is one of the strangest things I have seen so far. ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906741 Title: Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Opening certain applications/websites at the same time as Firefox causes the audio to become garbled.

Running Ubuntu 20.04 and I have the same issue with Firefox. Watching Netflix works fine, till I go to some sites that has a tendency to crash audio. Then all audio goes garbled. Even doing an audio test in settings gives a garbled echo result. When audio is crashed like this the pulseaudio service uses high CPU even when no audio is being played. Opening a terminal and running "pulseaudio -k" to restart pulseaudio seems to fix the issue without closing Firefox or all the media apps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906741 Title: Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Opening certain applications/websites at the same time as Firefox causes the audio to become garbled.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1906741] Re: Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio
I have the same issue on Xubuntu 20.04. I find that just exiting Firefox completely and relaunching it resolves the audio problem on other applications and stays fixed, even after relaunching Firefox, unless I go to a website that causes the issue to start again. So, it seems to be very website specific for triggering it. One website that always triggered it was, strangely enough, www.subway.com. I was in a live meeting with MS Teams at the same time, but not 100% sure that MS Teams factored into it except that the audio of the meeting got scrambled up until I exited Firefox. If I went back to that website again, it would happen again. Unlike the other commenters, I don't even have a webcam on this PC at the moment, so I don't think it's webcam related. But, I do have some other hardware in common with the previous poster -- specifically Radeon and Starship/Matisse Audio. At the time of the incident, the audio (of both MS Teams and Firefox) was playing on the Starship/Matisse Audio port. But based on all of the comments here, it doesn't seem to be sound/video card specific, as I'm seeing both Nvidia vs Radeon and Intel vs AMD throughout this thread. $ lspci | grep Audio 2d:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1906741] Re: Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio
When the bug occurs, audio from all applications is garbled. I've tested firefox, zoom, and vlc, and all have garbled audio. I have had this issue since at least May 2020. At the time I was using Ubuntu 18.04, and have since upgraded to 20.04 I've reinstalled pulseaudio which has not fixed the issue. I think it might be related to speech applications interacting strangely with firefox. Opening zoom links works somewhat consistently, and the times when firefox spontaneously broke may have been due to discord running in the background. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906741 Title: Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Opening certain applications/websites at the same time as Firefox causes the audio to become garbled.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1906741] Re: Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio
Can you elaborate on which audio streams are garbled? Is this for tracks being played back in firefox? In other applications? Or both? Is this a recent regression, compared to how it worked before? If so, do you know precisely when it started happening? ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906741 Title: Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Opening certain applications/websites at the same time as Firefox causes the audio to become garbled.
