Why is audio stream playback faster in Firefox than in Chrome?

The example below plays almost instantly if I click on play as soon as possible when page is loaded, in Firefox. But in Chrome the playback will take about 4 seconds before playing sound. Why is it so and what can I do to speed this up in Chrome?



The audio source is an mp3 stream streaming from an Icecast server.



<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<audio id="audio" crossOrigin="anonymous" src="http://..." controls />
</body>
</html>

  • Upload a packet capture, so we can see what's going on. Chances are, you have a pretty low buffer size set on your server. (See also: stackoverflow.com/questions/52504992/…)
