youtube audio disappears

Hi all,

it's a few days (less than a week I'd say, maybe slightly more), that I'm getting some weird behaviour from Firefox and youtube: any time starts an ads (or comes back the video), starts a new video, move forward with the arrow key, the audio simply disappears. It doesn't mute, I mean, the mute button is not on and even if I mute/unmute the video remains silent, it just disappears into thin air. In order to get it back, the only way I found is to pause and restart the video. I deleted the cache, tested private mode, troubleshooting mode, even another (completely new) windows user, but the problem remains. The only thing that comes to my mind I have not yet tried is a portable version of firefox, just in case. I tried to replicate the issue in Chrome (to exclude some issue of the computer), but it worked just fine.

The problem started on firefox 112 and it's still present now that was updated to 113.

Funny thing, in the last couple of days, the issue started happening somehow at random and generally a little less frequently.

Any idea?

> I deleted the cache,

Already tried. :)

Well, this evening it looks like it's going, so I'll blame some gamma ray passing by and messing with some bit. *shrugs* If it comes back I'll ping again.
