Could not find cause for sound lag on YouTube

[DarkSceptor]

As far as I can tell, when I play games the sound is spot on. When I bring up Firefox and play YouTube videos there is about a 2 second period where the sound isn't there. And when I change videos the sound continues with the old video for a second before moving to the new video. I also use Firefox on Windows and there is no lag at all. Which eliminates Firefox as the cause and puts it on Mint's shoulders.

Have you tried another browser?
Disable hardware acceleration in your browser.
Load Firefox without add-ons, extensions
Or don't use Bluetooth audio.

Hello,

are you using speakers plugged to a HDMI or DP monitor? If so, try to connect directly to the computer.

Try:

Code: Select all

systemctl --user restart pulseaudio

You can make it a function:

Code: Select all

audioreset() { systemctl --user restart pulseaudio; }

To memorize it, add it to ~/.bashrc.

Hope I could help.
