YouTube and Other Players Slider Show Completed before end of video

I’ve noticed that YouTube and other players show the time marker to be completed long before the end of the video / audio. YouTube also has glitches /dead spots in its video / audio at random times.

Are there any resolutions for these bugs?

Hello PinStripe,
this sounds more like a drivers issue, what hardware do you have?

Intel motherboard with builtin Intel sound and video
2.6ghz processor Dual Core
4 gigs ram

Intel is known to have a drivers issue. The reason is supposedly the hardware internally upscales any sound from 44.1Khz to 48Khz, which causes inconsistencies and glitches.
You can try this and see if it helps:

I tried this and did not see an improvement.
