reported by @SkylerFur :

So I'm pretty sure I've found a new YouTube Ad "bug" as I'm watching a video suddenly the audio cuts out, but seeking doesn't fix it. It's happening right about when a Mid-Roll ad should happen, I suspect that the video isn't being paused and the Ad isn't loading; however the audio is cut. The inverse of the Black video W/ Audio only Ads.

I watched a couple of hour plus videos, when I noticed it happening. It took me a couple of videos to realize it wasn't audio match muting.

Feels like #2417 is an evolution of this, with YouTube's Anti-Adblock rolling out to Firefox users. There will likely be more similar issues popping up. Google is desperate for us to watch Ads, esp after their Ad "partners" have found out Google has been cheating them.
