THANK YOU!! This seems to have solved the issue. Thankfully I had already set /tmp to be an in-memory filesystem so this will do wonders. I'm assuming you haven't had any issues with the firefox cache being blown away every reboot? Doesn't really matter anyway, I prefer good audio over firefox

Courtney, I will try to suggest something. First, I was having problems in the past with Firefox. I use to let mpv play in the background ( a stream of internet radio) and the sound has stuttering and pauses whenever Firefox loaded some pages. I was told to use sndio for mpv as an option with

Hi Alexandre, I did your test, I don't see a pause cycle when I have firefox play a video. I do get those messages every time there is an audio glitch. At some times with chromium open I will get far fewer of these messages but no interrupt. When I say far fewer, I mean I could maybe get 1 of

I hope it isn't in bad etiquette to resurrect an old piece of mail. Since May I mitigated the stuttering audio issue with Firefox running by using Firefox ESR 91. Clearly something beyond 91 added something that doesn't jive well with OpenBSD. Now that 91 ESR is gone and it is 102 the issue has

TFW your software is so complicated it might as well be proprietary. I'll be sticking with Firefox ESR for now and hope by the time the time the ESR version bumps this will be resolved. Otherwise I'll have to play the worlds smallest violin. ESR doesn't have the issue. On 6/1/22 16:02, Raul

The idea of changing the OS implementation in order to suit an internet browser is hilarious at least. The browsers developers are not interested in proper implementation and inbreed of browser with OS internals, no! All that matters is to make something work for the browser itself. I am not able

Wonder what happened in that time. I'm on current right now. I haven't tried firefox in a couple weeks to see if this has changed. However, I have started using firefox-esr and strangely the problem is more or less entirely gone. It's incredibly rare that I hear a stutter now. Maybe switching

Just FYI, when I updated from a smooth 7.0 to 7.1 about a week ago, I started experiencing audio/video stuttering that I did not before. I am unclear on what exactly the problem is, whether it's the kernel, a driver, Firefox, etc. I just know that I went from a "no audio/video issues whatsoever"
