Send me a small zip file that shows the problem? I"ll run it on my Linux system to see if I can figure out where the issue is coming from. I've never had any such issues on my own Linux setups.

the youtube video problem

one video snap (bygone.mp4)

one thing i noticed, is that the noise occurs only the first time the video is played, when it starts to play for a second time it sounds normal.

It does seem like there's something with the audio that doesn't agree with the gstreamer codec. Do you hear the same problem under Windows?

I dont use windows, maybe  my arch is the problem, i will try with a new fresh arch install and see what happens.

Tomorrow i will try in a windows pc.

It's not just your distribution; I hear something similar on my Kubuntu installation as well. Just haven't found the time to try this under Windows yet.

It seems to be a Linux only issue, and has to do with the volume controls. It's triggered by animated volume as well as the default fade-in that's in the code. I've been running a few hours worth of tests, but no luck in getting rid of it thus far. Something in these videos (and I found a lot that have this issue) triggers something in the Linux codec for gstreamer.
