I take guitar lessons on line and the audio for the lessons has suddenly defaulted to muted and I can't unmute it even with repeated attempts. The speaker icon is x-d out. I've rebooted, gone out and back in to the site and tried it on another browser where it worked fine. Firefox is my preferred. What can I do?

[Audio Issue] Firefox Causes Background App Volume Drop on Tab Focus — All Volumes at 100%, Issue Not Present in Portable
Issue Summary: Whenever I focus a Firefox tab (even a blank or safe mode one), the audio volume of background applications (e.g., Spotify) drops or changes audibly. It’s not a ducking effect (as all ducking settings are disabled), and Windows volume mixer shows all apps still at 100%. The issue happens only while Firefox is focused — not minimized, not unfocused.
Reproduction Steps:
Play music using Spotify or another app.
Focus any Firefox window or tab.
Background audio becomes quieter or altered — then returns to normal once Firefox is unfocused. Specifically on focus it will change system volume to 58, then return to what it was previously when unfocused.
System Info:
OS: Windows 11 (fully updated)
Firefox Version: 128.0.2 (issue present since at least 127)
Audio Output: Realtek and NVIDIA High Definition Audio (same issue on both)
Spotify Version: Latest Windows Store version
Windows Sound Settings:
Communications tab: "Do nothing"
All app volumes: 100%
No enhancements or spatial effects enabled
Troubleshooting Already Tried (No Success):
Step Result ✅ Disabled audio ducking in Windows No effect ✅ Disabled audio enhancements No effect ✅ Ran Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode (Safe Mode) Issue persists ✅ Changed Firefox audio backend to winmm via about:config No improvement ✅ Fully reset Firefox profile (about:support → Refresh) Issue persists ✅ Verified with Process Explorer (audiodg.exe shows activity on tab focus) Confirms session change ✅ Ensured all apps in volume mixer show 100% No volume mismatch ✅ Rebooted and tested cleanly Still occurs ✅ Tested Firefox Portable (fresh instance) Issue does NOT occur (portable version behaves as expected)
Additional Notes:
The issue appears to be triggered by the main installed version of Firefox only.
A completely clean portable version does not cause the volume change, suggesting something related to the system-wide install, global config, or registry entries is affecting it.
Even without extensions, without playing any video/audio in Firefox, just focusing the window causes this volume behavior.
What I Plan to Try Next:
Fully uninstall Firefox (including deleting AppData and registry leftovers), then reinstall cleanly to see if that resolves it.
Possibly test Firefox ESR if needed.
Request for Help:
Has anyone experienced Firefox causing audio session or DSP changes on focus, especially with audiodg.exe activity?
Could there be a hidden system-level or registry config that ties Firefox to a shared exclusive audio session?
Any way to trace which audio sessions Firefox creates and how Windows handles them?
Let me know if you'd like logs, about:support data, Process Explorer thread captures, or a video of the issue. I’d appreciate any help from the community in narrowing this down.
Thanks! —Justin

I cannot play embedded Youtube videos, but they work when I open them in Youtube.
When embedded, after starting the video, I only see the circle animation (loading), but the video never starts.
What I tried so far: 1. turning off hardware acceleration 2. private window 3. troubleshoot mode
The issue has been going on since a long time already, and present on both Windows and Linux Ubuntu.
do not hurt me when i use firefox because I prefer to choose firefox as my default browser.

Some videos on X don't play. They show the continuous circle loading. Copy that video link and load in private browser and it plays normally. How do I find out what is keeping them from playing in the normal browser. I tried disabling all extensions. No change. Any ideas I can try?

Sound on Rumble. It has always had an Enable Button with a bell, and clicking on that button has always enabled the sound at the videos I watch on Rumble. Recently, clicking on the button, adjusting the sound on Rumble settings in the video, and boosting the sound on my computer do not work. I'm hoping that can be fixed. Thanks in advance.

Whenever I use Google Meet in the Firefox browser, it works well at first people can hear me. However, for a few seconds, my microphone suddenly cuts out, and I have to raise my voice for it to work again. My microphone remains enabled and does not disconnect when the audio cuts out, but people are still unable to hear me. I have already set my microphone to 'Always Allow' instead of 'Allow Temporarily, but the problem persists.Can anyone help me with this
