Firefox produces a crackling sound in Mint (lemmy.world)

On my Mint installation, Firefox running causes my sound to crackle. If I try the same site (say, Odysee) in Midori or Chromium, everything is normal while Firefox isn't running, but with Odysee playing, if I so much as open Firefox and let it sit on the landing page, my sound will begin to crackle until I decide to close it, at which time it quits in a few seconds. It also sounds like crap when I try to send Firefox to Odysee. It’s the same for if I send it to another site, like YouTube or Pandora, as well as finding videos on r/BreathOfTheWild via Reddit.

Why are you running pipewire? I though that mint didn't ship with it by default?

Anyway try this:

Type 'about:config' in the address bar, accept warning and press Enter.
Disable speech-dispatcher in reader-mode (show only text of an html document) because it injects a nasty noise: Find 'media.webspeech.synth.enabled' and set it to 'false.'

I acutally didn't make any chanes to the system beyond just install the userspace apps I like, like Cura, Telegram, and the like, though I will look into Pipewire.
