If you are using LibreTube this is fixable by disabling piped proxies in the setting. HOWEVER do be warned that Youtube will know your IP, so you should only really do this while using a VPN service.

Took me a while to find the setting under the audio and video section of the settings, because I was constantly looking for it under instance, general or advanced.
