Then you are on the correct help. This will help you solve the issue in your web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/turnoffthelights?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube<\/a> website (and not on an external YouTube video player). You click on the play button of this video player and activate the&nbsp;<strong>Turn Off the Lights <\/strong>browser extension (to dim the web page). You experience that video starts playing, but about 5 seconds later, the audio doubles and you hear the same audio track 2 times at once. This sound double can create a bad experience and confusion about what is happening on this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason that can possibly create this issue is one on time with the video content and the other one with a 5-second delay. That is possible if you have enabled the &#8220;blur&#8221; feature in the Turn Off the Lights options page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: This issue has been fixed in the latest Turn Off the Lights browser extension version 4 engine. That uses now the latest CSS render effect to add a Gaussian blur effect below the video player content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.turnoffthelights.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/hear-sound-double-on-the-youTube-website-1024x512.png\" alt=\"Hear the double sound on YouTube video.
