Audio crackling, in and out audio issues. Was using sling tv, it works fine on Chrome, there are no sound settings in sling, its all the browser. I get an unknown error message, no code. The audio goes quiet, cuts in and cuts out every 3 seconds. Crackles and goes louder, distorted sound, and then it goes quiet and again and cuts out, goes back.

Google Chrome works fine, the phone sling tv app works fine, firefox is the issue.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

No it actually made it worse. While watching a livestream basketball game, the video would keep stop and go, and would cause the stream video to skip. I copied the link to google chrome and it worked just fine.

I disabled troubleshoot mode and it caused the website to not function properly now.

Does it still happen in a new profile? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile. Make sure you stay signed out of your sync account when testing.

Sling needs to be working in order for me to test the audio. Doesnt work in safe mode even with network settings.
