I'm having audio issues with the Firefox browser specifically. This is my default browser, but for some reason, it suddenly stopped projecting audio from in-browser sources.

I've cleared my cache and tried other solutions from the help page, but nothing seems to work except when I reinstall my audio drivers. However it's a temporary fix as it seems to only play audio for videos that I already have loaded, but if I skip ahead in the video or refresh the page, the audio problem comes back.

Every other application works, and i've tried other browsers to make sure it's specifically a firefox issue and it is.

I've gone into troubleshooting mode, turned off all of my extensions, and nothing seems to work which is odd. Audio still plays normally for other applications like Spotify, Discord, Steam, etc.
