Description Pierre Blavy 2012-01-20 14:42:08 UTC
Description of problem:
When I look at a webm video in firefox (try youtube or : http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-supports-webm-video/custom-controls-webm-720p.html) The sound is realy strange. Character voice is replaced by robot voice, and I often hear music unrealted to the video I'm watching.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Don't know, last full yum update 20/january/2012

How reproducible:
Depends on the video and the timecode
Always messed up at the same times for the same video

Steps to Reproduce:
1. firefox
2. http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-supports-webm-video/custom-controls-webm-720p.html
3. play & hear

Same bug in vlc:

vlc http://lachy.id.au/lib/media/elephantsdream/Elephants_Dream-720p-Stereo.webm

watch the video until the man speaks after the wire attack.

Comment 3 Pierre Blavy 2012-01-24 16:18:02 UTC
I'm experimenting this bug with other format (like subsonic web streamed MP3). Sound is relay strange : the begining of the track is mixed with other parts, the voices are sometimes hard to hear when the music looks untouched...

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2012-02-06 12:53:33 UTC
I cannot reproduce any oddness on my box.  It plays and sounds as expected here.

$ rpm -q xulrunner firefox
xulrunner-10.0-1.fc16.x86_64
firefox-10.0-1.fc16.x86_64

Comment 5 Pierre Blavy 2012-02-06 14:18:13 UTC
Maybe my sound card is broken. I don't have any other OS on this computer to test if it's a hardware failure.

Comment 6 Martin Stransky 2012-02-14 18:22:25 UTC
If the issue is reproducible with vlc, it has nothing to do with firefox. I suspect pulseaudio may be the first culprint, maybe audio-drivers? Or broken mixer settings? Try to install alsa-utils and run alsamixer, it allows you to modify soundcard volumes.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 15:01:03 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 16:22:30 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
