Hi! :-)

I'm using Firefox from repositories without any problem.

Just out of curiosity, I downloaded from Mozilla site, the latest version I unpacked and ran it. Everything seems to work fine, except sound. It seems to be unable, to play any kind of sound. Does anyone know anything related?

TIA! G.

Hi Giorgos, you need to have PulseAudio installed and running for Firefox to play sound. Once you do, it works fine. Cheers Michele

THANKS Michele!

I already have it, and indeed it works fine for the repository installation. It just doesn't work for the Mozilla binaries. G.

That sounds like PulseAudio has the binary muted or at zero volume then. When you are playing sound in FF(Moz), open up PulseAudio's config app* and see what its volume is set for FF(Moz).

• PulseAudio Volume Control (Playback tab, Show all streams)

Note: You have to be playing sound in an app to have that app show up in PulseAudio Volume Control so you can set it. If I have the wrong tab above, keep something playing sound and you'll find it in one of the tabs...

HTH, Michael

THANKS Michael!!! :-) Correct!

Although I had "pulseaudio" already installed and didn't work, this time I tried the package "debian-pulseaudio-config-override" and it did the trick!

Somehow, it seems that PulseAudio doesn't play well on Debian based systems, without these specific hacks. Now everything's OK!

Problem solved. THANKS AGAIN!!! :-) G.

I don't have the package installed, but it works very well with FF installed from a tar ball.

I am not sure I understood if you installed deb or tar

Repo version, worked flawlessly from the beginning. The problem was with the official Mozilla binaries, from here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release (The Linux x64 BZ2 archive).

After installing the Debian specific hacks (mentioned above) for PulseAudio, problem solved. G.

Always used the tar.bz2 image without need of specific hacks (mentioned above). I do not find those hacks. What distro are you on? It might be I missed this detail.

I am on debian buster

Oops! You're right! It isn't. My mistake. SORRY!!! :-)

Seems to be, a Devuan specific. package. I found it, searching on Synaptic, for possible packages I overlooked by mistake.

Anyway! More details here: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=*pulsea... https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/package-query.html?c=package&q=debian... G.
