I have this weird issue with Firefox: any time when is fast forward in a YouTube video it drops my USB-C connections!

I have a similar issue with hardware accelerated videos in general that drops all my USB connections randomly when stopping or skipping in a video. I think it's a power state change issue with my GPU because it never happens if I have a video game running.

Perhaps your usb c and audio devices are on the same hardware bus and Firefox is doing something there. I had that problem with discord once.

Interesting. Is hardware acceleration enabled?

I have disabled it an now it's fine! What is also interesting that this is happening with two different laptops. The Sound Device btw is a USB DAC that is connected through the USB-C hub. Maybe this is what is causing the issues. This issue is relatively new, what I am experiencing is "reaching" the USB DAC Sound Device is getting slower and slower. Maybe this is a driver issue in Windows.
