Audio Codecs for Firefox in Bazzite/Fedora (lemmy.world)

I have been able to see online that the problem I am having is a known one where the Firefox flatpak needs version 23.06 ffmpeg-full as a dependency.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this working and as a result Firefox audio stutters significantly on every website no matter what settings I change or what extensions I turn on and off.

I at first assumed this was a problem with my extensions and went through a pretty hefty troubleshooting session that got me pretty much nowhere.

I have attempted to install the proper codecs via the terminal and the system says those codecs are already installed.

I'm at a loss here. If anyone knows an answer or at least an avenue to help me get this solved, I'm all ears.

Device: ROG Ally X OS: Bazzite/Fedora updated fully to the most recent update released.

It turns out that this problem is more wide spread than I thought and is probably related to some hardware or to the distro itself/updates.

I just discovered this happens in other apps and in steam gaming mode. So whatever is going on, I'm going to have to start over and eliminate stuff. Thanks for this answer though.

Edit: I am going to assume (because it is working now, after removing every cable, swapping to a different port and eliminating a bunch of hardware from the setup before swapping everything back) that reseating something fixed this glitch. I don't know what it was that I reseated that fixed it, but it's all working as it should now, and it's setup exactly as it was when I started having issues.

If anyone else comes here looking, that's the only solution I have at the moment.
