Looks like standard audio codec, so it's probably not the source of the problem. Other theories:
1) Volume normalization algo bug? ("Volume / Normalized" in "Stats for nerds")
2) Buffer-related issues? (watch "Buffer Health" line in "Stats for nerds" while video plays)
3) Dropped frames? (watch "Viewport / Frames" line in "Stats for nerds" while video plays)
Anyway I'm not an expert in this topic, just speculating.
- countWSS 3y agoNo dropped frame,consistent 60s+ buffer,volume at any setting doesn't affect it. I'm suspecting its the Linux audio stack interfering with something in youtube player, something relatively recent that perhaps expects pipewire(i have pulseaudio).
- brudgers 3y agoA/B listen to Youtube on Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android. My experience with Linux audio was typical, i.e. poor at times.
- brudgers 3y agoOther possibilities: 1. Changes to hearing. 2. Changes to listening environment. Changes to hearing comes to mind because I first experienced the need for eyeglasses as "something wrong with the cable TV signal".
- countWSS 3y agoSoundcloud works just fine, FLAC/MP3 streaming, midi files. The problem seems to be isolated to Youtube, its not really about quality of files - something makes the music feel bad but not like first 3-5 min of listening, it appears after 20-30mins.
