Public bug reported:
If I have my output device set to "HDMI / DisplayPort - Built-in Audio",
playing a Youtube video on Firefox causes it to hang. It initially
loads fine, but nothing happens. The UI is still responsive at this
point, and I can scroll the page, switch tabs, etc. However, if I then
try to open a new tab or navigate to a new page, Firefox hangs
completely and I have to kill it.
If I switch the audio device back to internal speakers, everything works
fine.
This only started happening some time in the last week. Previously, I
observed a different behaviour, where Youtube videos simply wouldn't
play audio on HDMI unless I already had an audio stream initiated from
another app. It never hung the browser, though.
I first observed this on Firefox 76 beta, then 77, and now I have
confirmed it on the Ubuntu package of Firefox 75, all with a new, clean
profile.
Also, I *can* play audio on other sites like Pandora over HDMI. This
seems to be YouTube specific somehow.
