Youtube videos with "auto" quality freeze desktop
Hi all, (edited)
I get occasionally get freezes of the entire desktop environment when attempting to watch YouTube videos through Firefox. This seems to only or mostly happen when I have not manually selected a quality for a video, which I must redo each video I click. During the freezes I occasionally continue to hear the audio for a few seconds before the environment unfreezes and I am suddenly at that point in the video. I get this with or without ublock origin enabled, or I'd be blaming it on Google's blocked attempts to serve 1000+ ads in less than an hour (god I wish I was joking).
I'm on a desktop computer with the following:
Motherboard: ASRock B650M Pro RS
Video Card: AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
Sound Card: Sound Blaster ZX (or potentially ZXR, I've had it forever idk)
I use two monitors of different resolution but the same framerate over displayport 1.2. I'm on KDE environment and have been using Bazzite continuously for over a year as a daily driver. I have googled and searched, as well as sought a duplicate issue in this channel without success.
Unrelated issue that may be notable: 🛟bazzite-helpKeyboard input issues
My rpm-ostree status output is:
ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:stable
Digest: sha256:a1c08de46c1d1ca0cbee2249a8d7e4deef773bcae8fadf457b82398a666d6539
Version: 42.20250529.2 (2025-05-29T23:17:35Z)
If there's any other information you need, let me know.
Oh, and I have a partition with Windows on it, but I don't use it and followed the instructions given for dual booting on the documentation site.
