#179055 — No sound in Firefox

FromMarc Shapiro <marcnshap@gmail.com>
Date2017-03-20 22:00 +0100
SubjectNo sound in Firefox
Message-ID<tnczf-1GM-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
I recently upgraded my Firefox to v52 and immediately lost all sound in 
Firefox.  Apparently Firefox now requires PulseAudio, which I had 
previously uninstalled due to issues which I no longer remember.  I 
tried installing PulseAudio, but still no sound in Firefox.  Also, no 
sound anywhere else.  I uninstalled PulseAudio and sound came back 
(except for Firefox).  I reverted Firefox to v51.0.1 and I have sound 
everywhere.

I would like to reinstall PulseAudio so that I can upgrade Firefox, but 
I can't get it to work.  Can anyone help me get sound working with 
PulseAudio?

That sounds (pun intended) like PulseAudio all right.

It's working, now.  Not sure what the problem was, but after purging and 
reinstalling PulseAudio I now have sound that works in the latest 
Firefox.  I still think that it would be better if this hard requirement 
did not exist, but at least it is working now.  I just hope that 
whatever the problem was (years back) that caused me to purge PulseAudio 
in the first place has been fixed and does not come back to bite me.

I think that I'll keep my copy of Firefox v51.0.1 around for a while, 
until I am sure that I don't need to revert to it.

Marc
