Some videos on the web give me extremely distorted audio, like a low rumbling sound. Example https://www.nu.nl/278138/video/kevin-spacey-geeft-kerstboodschap-als-frank-underwood.html

This works okay in Chrome.

Can I ask what flavor of Linux you're using? And if you've customized your OS sound using anything similar to what's in this article? https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/advanced-audio-control-on-linux/
