SoundCloud audio stutters in bluetooth headphones when YouTube playing in Firefox

Reported by tom.jenk...@soundcloud.com, Dec 29 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.108 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://soundcloud.com/tjenkinson/hour-sine

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start playing https://soundcloud.com/tjenkinson/hour-sine in chrome with bluetooth headphones (I have the problem with bose qc35 II headphones on high sierra)
2. Open firefox (or safari) and load a video on youtube.com

What is the expected behavior?
The sine wave playing from soundcloud should remain playing smoothly.

What went wrong?
You will hear a blip in the sine wave from chrome when playback starts on youtube in firefox. Also it is possible to trigger more glitches by loading more videos.

Whilst youtube is playing it is also possible to make the playback glitch on soundcloud by moving around the site.

Did this work before? N/A 

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? HTML5

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

I can try and provide a reduced test case if it helps find the cause of the problem.

It seems like when chrome isn't the only thing that has a handle for audio playback glitches start. I can only reproduce this problem over bluetooth. Also I cannot reproduce the problem when doing the same in reverse. I.e when playing youtube/soundcloud in chrome, soundcloud in firefox or safari plays glitch free.
 
Should also mention we are using media source extensions.

Unable to reproduce this issue on reported version 63.0.3239.108 and on latest dev 65.0.3309.0 using Mac 10.13.1 with normal earphones 
 
1. Navigated to https://soundcloud.com/tjenkinson/hour-sine in 63.0.3239.108 build. 
2. In firefox opened 2-3 youtube videos and oberved no stutter is seen on playing those videos. 

This might be related to bluetooth headphones. As ET/Inhouse team doesn't have bluetooth headphones, could someone from MTV team take a look into this.

Thanks!
Thanks for checking. I can also only reproduce when listening with Bluetooth.
And when having vlc open, or ffplay running
does it repro on Chrome browser? or only repro Firefox or Safari?

The stutter only happens in the audio from chrome, when Firefox/safari/vlc/ffplay is also loaded/playing.
I have a basic test page now which shows the issue: https://tjenkinson.github.io/audio-glitch-chrome

1) Open https://tjenkinson.github.io/audio-glitch-chrome/index.html in chrome and click play
2) Open https://tjenkinson.github.io/audio-glitch-chrome/video.html in firefox and click play

Expected: audio from chrome does not stutter.
Actual: audio from chrome stutters.

This is simply playing an mp3 with one <audio> element and an mp4 with a <video> element
We were unable to reproduce on windows. Were able to reproduce on Bose q35 headphones on Mac OS High Sierra at 44.1 KHz
And I can reproduce on canary 65.0.3322.0

Will attempt to repro with my BT headphones.

Not able to reproduce on my Macbook Pro with High Sierra. My BT headset is: dylan w301 earbuds. 

I used Chrome Canary Version 65.0.3325.0
Firefox 57.0.4 (64-bit)

I tried both the github pages as well as the original sin wav soudcloud + a random youtube video. No luck. 

MTV Triage team - please see if you can reproduce with your own BT hardware. 

Just checked again and it's still there with 65.0.3325.0

I also recorded a video where you can hear the sound from the headphones, to show exactly when this happens: https://youtu.be/9fgUrWB1J70

I checked again and this problem doesn't happen when playing the audio file in firefox and video in chrome.

give to chcunningham@ to follow up. I don't have BT headset so can't repro this bug.
