I have seen this happening for months, though not very often. But it happened yesterday and today again.

Music playing in the background (via Audacious) is garbled. This usually happens when I open a website in a new tab. Sounds like a bitcrusher effect to me.

I can reverse the effect by closing tabs, but I do not see a clear cause-and-effect pattern. There are not too many tabs open (< 15), it began when I opened Red Hat's site, but I had to close three other tabs before it reverted to normal.

Also, the sites did not even play Audio, none of them.

I'm on Linux for more than 15 years. This is one of the strangest things I have seen so far.
