Steps to reproduce the problem:
(not reliably reproducible)

1. Connect Bluetooth headset
2. Turn up system volume fully
2. Attempt to play media from different sources (YouTube, Spotify etc) with volume slider fully up
3. Note how audio is very low on every site

What is the expected behavior?
Audio is at a reasonable volume

What went wrong?
Audio level very quiet.

Did this work before? N/A 

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? HTML5

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

I googled the issue and got instructions to hard restart which solved the problem, but indicated to me that it's probably something that a number of people have run into.
