The usual advice is to clear out the cache and restart.
I've been doing that on both
opera
firefox
but after a while the audio will lag behind the video. This
will manifest itself rather obviously in a couple of ways.
1. click play, and the video begins moving along. The
sound comes in about 5 seconds later.
2. click stop or even exit. The video or browser window
will complete disappear and the sound continues for about
5 seconds.
Usually (always?) this is provoked by having a second browser
window open (no, they aren't both running videos) and pausing
the video to read something.
I "reset" by clearing cache, stopping and restarting.
I have both pulseaudio and alsa installed. To wit:
Code: Select all
[root@ws ~]# rpm -qa | grep pulse
pulseaudio-utils-11.1-23.el8.x86_64
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.1.9-1.el8.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-11.1-23.el8.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-11.1-23.el8.x86_64
pulseaudio-11.1-23.el8.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-11.1-23.el8.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-x11-11.1-23.el8.x86_64
Code: Select all
[root@ws ~]# rpm -qa | grep alsa
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.1.9-1.el8.x86_64
alsa-ucm-1.1.9-4.el8.noarch
alsa-lib-1.1.9-4.el8.x86_64
alsa-lib-devel-1.1.9-4.el8.x86_64
alsa-utils-1.1.9-1.el8.x86_64
with synchronization when running Centos 7. All my searching says to
clear the cache. It's annoying to do that. (I know, that's a bit of a whine.)
Oh! Almost forgot: on Firefox I went to "about:config" and turned off
the disk cache. That didn't help.
Code: Select all
20. firefox is screwing up audio. it gets ahead of the video.
sorry. video gets ahead of audio.
going to try this.
browser.cache.disk.capacity 64 (was 1024**2)
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled false (was true)
