Audio desynchronizes from videos if I move to other tabs.

@pilis Yes, it's me, i use it on my Linux PCs.

[pilis]

No, the only media players I have in my PC are MPC-BE and VLC.

@pilis
I cant belive it but with the Baby Puss video I can reproduce it.
Please include the link in the bug report.

[pilis]

Alright, I'll do a bug report then, now it got confirmed

[DoctorGTesting]

@mib2berlin Good, i just thought the cinema's film/audio tracks could have been made faulty and then badly digitized for video stream.

[pilis]

Done. The bug is now: VB-116250

[DoctorG]

@pilis Confirmed.

[pilis]

Here is the same issue but with another website, wco.tv.

You can see a recording showcasing that issue also on that site, here:
https://streamable.com/rqopij

At 0:53 you can better notice the audio getting skipped/fast-forwarded for like two seconds.

modedit: removed direct link to pirate site

One more update: I tried many times to see if YouTube is also affected by this issue and surprisingly, on YouTube this doesn't happen. So it must be something with non-Youtube websites.

@pilis
You can add information in reply of you confirmation mail, it get's automatically included in the report then.

[pilis]

Done ^^

My guess: could be a regression for AAC encoded audio tracks.

Happens for me also in:
Chrome 135.0.7049.42
Chromium 134.0.6998.178
Brave 1.77.95 (Chromium 135.0.7049.52)
Edge 135.0.3179.73

Does not happen in:
Firefox 137.0.1
Opera 117.0.5408.197 (Chromium 132.0.6834.210)

So I don't really see how this is a Vivaldi problem?
My take: Crappy pirate sites need to fix their players to work properly...

Edit: Also try to avoid directly linking to illegal content please, we don't want to give these scummy sites better search rankings.

Sorry, but the other members wanted to reproduce the issue and I had to gave them the links.

Anyway, this is confirmed to be actually a Chromium issue:
https://issues.chromium.org/issues/404464587

But luckily it was fixed in Chromium 136.

Thanks for information

I updated Vivaldi tracker entry VB-116250.

[pilis00]

Good to hear ^^

[DoctorG]

@pilis00 Now we will wait until fix is backported to Chromium 134 (Extended Stable Channel) or Vivaldi will upgrade to Chromium 136 in a few weeks.

[pilis00]

Can't Vivaldi bring these fixes a bit faster than Chromium?

I do not know if such can be done now by Vivaldi Development team.

[pilis00]

Understand, I was just curious
If they are able somehow to do it faster than Chromium, then they definitely should because this problem is super annoying.
