i stopped using Firefox about 8 yrs ago and one of the major reasons was, the sound quality would devovle into a static mess if you did certain things, i can longrer remember.
NOW because youtube is blocking Vivaldi browser ad blockers ive ben forced to go back to firefox to play youtube undisturbed by stupid ads.
BUT the same audio problem has already popped up its static head. it makes the video unwatchable and no idea at this time what even triggers its but it requires a computer reset to get rid of it.
As ive said in other threads this is a major PITA since this BRAND NEW COMPUTER, takes about 5 min to restart for some unknown reason? it has 2 LED debug lites lit while it waits 5 min to reboot. Noone here knows why?
I built this brand new comp hoping it would be more reliable than the garbage HP laptop i bought new in jan which would lock up several times a day, most times recover on its own and sometimes needing reboot.
what is wrong with computers these days?
is it linux? the hardware or is windows still a hot piece of garbage too?
