Mono Twitch audio = left speaker only, FF only
This just started happening recently. FF 60.0.1 64-bit.
If I go to a Twitch stream that is running mono audio, it only comes from the left speaker. This only happens in Firefox. Shockwave Flash is set to Ask to Activate.
Main info: Win 10 1803 i7 7700K no oc 16 gigs DDR4 Soundblaster Z with the latest driver
Is there any additional info needed? Any ideas I could try?

Does other audio site do this or just twitch stream? If other sites have no issues then the problem would be a twitch stream or Audio Driver issue.
When I check a couple of Youtube videos that claim to be mono sound tests, it comes from both speakers.
I can tell you it is not limited to one Twitch stream - I've noticed it on two already since this started.
I contacted Twitch about this yesterday but so far no response.
I think that I've seen issues reported in the past that mono media files only play via one channel, so this might be a Firefox limitation.

Youtube videos in mono come from both speakers in Firefox though

First link is not related to the topic. Second through fourth link - some I have tried, but most do not explain why it works right on Youtube but not on Twitch. I can only guess it is tied to something at Twitch - however, those same channels work correctly in Chrome and not Firefox.
Why would that happen, do you think?
It could depend on the codec that is used.
Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?

Sure, here's an example: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/264660431

Here's another example, this time on Youtube

Only comes out the left speaker on Firefox, but sounds fine in Chrome

Apparently this is in fact a confirmed bug that was re-introduced. They have it fixed in the upcoming Firefox 61:
Cannot post an unauthorized page, but some facebook videos has this issue too. https://www.facebook.com/HRTLmuzik/videos/1566187983457801/?q=hrtl%20milady
I have FF 61.0.1 and it hasn't been fixed.
