In a previous toot I showed a segment from CSPAN that had the audio pitch lowered and it sounded funny and disturbing.

The problem was with my browser's user agent, which had been set to Windows and Chrome. (My browser is actually FireFox running on Linux) When I changed the user agent back, it fixed the problem.

This is what the video is supposed to sound like. (from the 2021/02/26 show)

Another example of the problem of steaming audio pitch being shifted to an extremely low frequency from a completely different web source than my previous post. (I actually found several streaming sites that did this.)

Solution: The user agent in my browser had been changed to identify it as Win 7, Chrome. My browser is actually FireFox, Linux. (I had changed it in an attempt to get a misbehaving website to work and forgot to change it back.) The sites probably assumed I was using a different player or they used an incorrect audio codec.

Funny yet disturbing CSPAN video player problem…
