Can you provide an URL to test or a minimal testcase with the audio files in loop? (you can use http://jsfiddle.net/ )

Thanks for the testcase. I tried and indeed, there is an offset in looping. After a timer of 30 sec, I count 25 plays, it's reproducible.

Works for me on Linux: 25 loops in about 24 seconds, testing with a clock.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Is it possible to upload the same audio file as mp3 and ogg please?
