Anybody else here noticing that YouTube videos often have random soft clicks in the audio?
Sometimes they're clearly associated with video edits, but other times they're seemingly random, only they're not because if you go back and replay the same section of video the click happens in exactly the same place. I'm watching YouTube on a built in app on my smart TV. I've never noticed it before. i.e. not on my laptop, not when playing YouTube through my Arcam amp (though at that time I mostly used TV > CD > Analogue input to the Amp. I did use TV > Digital input to the Amp, but I can't recall noticing any clicks. But ever since I've been watching YouTube TV > Digital input to my Hegel I've started to notice these clicks. Obviously my first thought was that it was something going on with either the inbuilt DAC or maybe the TV optical output was somehow the cause and the Hegel DAC was somehow more senstive to a problem. But it only happens on YouTube. When I watch Broadcast TV, or Netflix, Amazon Video, Disney + etc on my TV through the amp I don't get the issue.
I'm at a loss. Is it just YouTube?
NB: it only ever seems to happen in actual YouTube content, not during any of the Ads on YouTube, and it doesn't happen in all videos.
