I can add some information to this bug (or what seems to be a bunch of
related audio bugs).
In my case it is related to my sound card, switching to and from the
soundcard audio causes the bug to appear and disappear.
Line-Out - Built-in Audio : No bug
Digital Output (S/PDIF) - EMU20k2 [Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Series] :

Title:
Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Opening certain applications/websites at the same time as Firefox
causes the audio to become garbled.
The audio sounds distorted with an echo.
Certain actions are guaranteed to cause this, but it can also
happening when only running instances of Firefox.
I've been able to consistently cause this by launching Zoom from a link
within Firefox.
This does not occur when using Chrome.
The only way to fix the issue is to shut down all audio-related
programs.
