Originally created by @nathandtrone on GitHub (Apr 25, 2021).

The Bug I've found can be reproduced by opening ANY media using the web interface, and while the media is playing, using the keyboard playback hotkeys. Such as K for pause/resume, and J and L for skipping. The video when paused will pause but the audio will sometimes start playing from the beginning of the track... If you play the video again, via keyboard or buttons, the audio will start back up where it left off, but now you have another audio track playing over top of the repeated/offset track. If you do this a number of times, it appears to "Build up" a few tracks and it becomes deafening and you have to reload the page to stop it.

System (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows
Virtualization: Docker jellyfin/jellyfin:latest on an Ubuntu Server
Clients: Chrome
Browser: Chrome Version 90.0.4430.85 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Jellyfin Version: 10.7.2
Playback: "Auto-Direct"
Installed Plugins: None
Reverse Proxy: nginx
Base URL: https://jellyfin.intranet.local/web/index.html#!/video
Networking: NAT?
Storage: NFS/LOCAL Storage is on another container via docker NFS4 mount.

To Reproduce

Go to a video, any video
Click play. Let the media load and begin playing.
Use any media keys to control the playback of the content, specifically pausing and playing.
Listen for a second audio stream beginning to play in the background. It may take a few seconds depending on how far into the track you hear something. (like if the video has no intro sounds, vs dolby boom sound at the beginning)
Repeat for more duplicate tracks you can't stop.

Expected behavior
It should stop the audio and play the audio wherever it is at, not start another stream in the background. It's like a second video element is playing in the background with the duration value set back to the beginning/resume time.

Logs
Cannot find any errors except for this one on startup:

Screenshots
It doesn't help here. I may be able to record it?

Additional context
I can reliably reproduce the problem every time I try. I have updated, redeployed and rebuilt the docker image multiple times, tried it with many different file formats and medias. I have tried it with single audio track files, and multi-language embedded audio tracks. Let me know if you could use any other information. I've got the app on my FireTV and I don't believe it's doing this on there. So I'm not certain what could be causing this. Let me know if you want me to run any javascript in console or anything to debug the problem more. I see no errors or warnings on the browser side.
