I've got a really strange issue. I'm using OBS Studio 21.1.0 to stream live video and audio to youtube.
The problem is the stream has audio choppyness all the way through when viewed on Firefox (latest version) on Windows 7 64bit. You can hear it both during live stream and also afterwards when the stream is saved to youtube.
However, this video sounds perfectly fine through Chrome, it also sounds absolutely fine on my ipad and iphone youtube app.
Also its worth noting that all other youtube videos playback in Firefox absolutely fine, its only an issue with OBS Studio stream and Firefox playback specifically. Also interestingly, if I record a video rather than live stream, then upload recorded version to youtube, that plays fine in Firefox, even though in OBS settings recording type is set as same as stream. Just doesn't make sense! It suggests that the way the video is encoded is different when live streaming.
Any ideas why this might be? Can the stream video and audio settings be adjusted to help? I've tried different bitrates, different encoder preset speeds, nothing seems to help. It can't be an internet connection of computer not being powerful enough issue because, like I say, the audio playback is 100% fine when viewed in Chrome or youtube app on mobile devices.
Here is an example video to demonstrate. This video audio is choppy in Firefox, fine in Chrome:

(skip to 48 seconds in to hear the issue clearly)
*edit* Also noticed that the live stream video to Youtube isn't even recognised in Internet Explorer and wont play at all, yet pre-recorded videos uploaded to Youtube play just fine. The mystery continues...
