I Heart Radio sounds like it's in slow motion and garbled
-
I started using Vivaldi last month and tried listening to I Heart Radio online with it for the first time. Any station I tried to listen to sounded like it was in slow motion and garbled. I noticed it happened with Opera too. It doesn't occur with Chrome or FF though.
-
I too have this issue on iHeart radio. Here is a sample link although it occurs on every channel within their site.

I am using 1.7.735.11 (Official Build) (32-bit) on Win 10 Pro.
-
I believe you do need Flash Player for this site.
-
It works fine for me on Chrome Version Version 56.0.2924.76 (64-bit) and Firefox 51.0.1 32 bit.

Yes, in USA. I don't know about Nine West, the original poster though.
-
Done, Thank you!
-
I'm in the US too.

I got my issue solved by installing vivalvi-ffmpeg-codecs. I had opera-ffmpeg-codecs installed, and I thought that it was enough with it. Just decided to give vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs a try, and voila!
I think that it would be nice if Vilvavi falls back on Chrome & Opera paths when looking up for the ffmpeg codec file.

How would one go about installing them?

I too need guidance on how to install. Any help for a Win 10 install would be appreciated!

It appears these are installed properly. I have submitted a Bug Report. So far there is no solution.
-
This is not confined to Iheart radio as it also occurs at this location (and others) as well.

Thank you Gwen-Dragon. Is there a post instructing how to "change the useragent with commandline parameter" ?
-
@Gwen-Dragon, I've done the steps you said, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me.
I tried from my Windows 7 laptop and validated at What's my user agent? that everything was set up correctly. Unfortunately, iHeart continues not working correctly. Tried in the same laptop with Firefox and Opera browsers and it worked seamlessly with them.
In addition, I solved the related problems I had in my Linux box a few days ago.
So, from my point of view the sitution is a follows:
- There problem has nothing to do with my location, since it works in Linux desktop PC and in Windows 7 laptop with other browsers all sharing the same internet connection.
- I think there is something wrong in Vivaldi itself, not having a good integration with the codec: Sound does work, but it does in a slow motion fashion. It looks like something needs to be tweaked to definitely make it work.
I hope a solution can be found shortly.
Thank you!

The steps provided by @Gwen-Dragon were to solve the CNBC problem. As you found, they will not help those with problem on iHeart.
-
Interestingly, while applying the fix mentioned by @Gwen-Dragon does take care of the cnbc issue; as Musikolo mentioned, it does not affect the iHeart issue. Also for me, it breaks some functionality in Google Keep & Google Calendar. So I have removed the suggested fix repairing the Google issues but back to square one on the garbled audio.
-
Just wanted to update and say that the newest stable version of Vivaldi fixed this issue for me.
-
I seem to have jinxed myself. Something happened between my last post and now which has brought back the garbled mess. I turned off all my extensions to check that and doing so didn't change anything.
