Popping / Crackling sound at end of youtube videos

Post by lilith »

Quite often when I listen to music via youtube I get a popping / crackling sound when the video ends. Anyone knows where this might come from?

I have no xruns and it is only when the video ends.

Are you using pulseaudio? I've noticed that when a video or something ends it closes the connection a few seconds later and I can hear it doing so. I don't know if there an option to allow it to leave the port open or change whatever it is that it is doing.

I use the alsa jack bridge. It does not happen always and it's not related to the video played.

I've heard similar popping. It is infrequent and I don't do a lot of youtube listening to the end of clips.

I suspect that it is the result of cutting the audio signal to a value of 0 (zero) abruptly when signal voltage is near 1

That's what it sounded like to me when I first heard it. FWIW

You could set up to record in audacity then get a pop, and next go back and look at the pop (zooming into see at sample level.)
