Re: no sound in firefox [solved]

The solution dosn´ t work for me.

Here some info i just found out:

Firefox plays sound, when i shut down all other applications using the soundsystem.
When firefox plays sound, all other appluications don´ t. On the other hand, when any other application plays sound, firefox dosen´ t.

Re: no sound in firefox [solved]

You could try to re-install whatever sound related packages you use.

Also provide more info: logs, installed packages, a link to the guide you followed to set up sound, .

Re: no sound in firefox [solved]

Hm, i didn´ t really set up any sound. It came with the installation.
Other than that, i installed pulseaudio.

Like i said in my first post, i dont really know anything about how alsa or pulsaudio works.

So, the only thing i can post without any further tips where to look, is the outout form vainfo:

Does that maybe help?

And then there is this line from journalctl

The last part means: The device or the resource is busy.

Re: no sound in firefox [solved]

Install pulseaudio-alsa, also: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#ALSA (you are trying to use flash which uses ALSA and doesn’t have a native pulse backend)

Re: no sound in firefox [solved]

then while firefox is running , and post the contents of your /etc/asound.conf and any

/.asoundconf (you shouldn’t have that last one, if you have it post its contents anyway)

Re: no sound in firefox [solved]

Yeah, this is your problem, why are you doing this? you bypass pulse for ALSA devices and as soon as something alsa comes up it tries to use the asym and dmix stuff which won’t work if pulseaudio is already using the device and vice versa. Pulse should provide you with duplex profiles by default which you can switch to using pavucontrol

Re: no sound in firefox [solved]

OK, so i need to change that. Only to be sure: Before i posted here, i found another topic, with this fix.

This asoundrc was suposed to look like the asound.conf.

Those lines with # before them are from me, the rest was in there. Of course, when i tested this, those lines were marked with #.
When i tried that, i didn´ t have any sound at all.

And what do i have to do with this now? Change it ? Delete it? Or is there a way to tell my system not to use this file but the asound.conf, or link the asoundrc to asound.conf?

Re: no sound in firefox [solved]

What did you try to fix? If you don’t know you can delete it, it isn’t needed the /etc/asound.conf is enough.

Re: no sound in firefox [solved]

Well, i tried to fix my sound problem with this. As i said, it didn´ t work. OK, then, i´ m going to delete it.

Oh my god, it worked perfectly.

You are the man, V1del (or woman, i´ m not sure )

Thank you so much.

Re: no sound in firefox [solved]

Internet search [pulseaudio «main.c: User-configured server»] —> I think that’s pulseaudio talk for «it didn’t start».

/.pulseXX file or dir **). Then try that «—start» again.

**I removed pulseaudio because of this sort of nonsense, so I’m kinda guessing at the exact file names.

I think I have found the cause for no sound in Firefox.

When I start Firefox with

I don’t get sound but when I launch firefox without Firejail I hear sound.

Now is there a way to use FF with Firejail and get sound too ?

No sound from firefox linux

All other apps (like Chrome, Spotify, and audio configuration sound test) sound fine.

I’ve tried -safe-mode, re-installing, and removing duplicate Flash plugins. My /etc/hosts file is Xhosts, I’ve cleared the cache, pulseaudio is running, all pop-ups are allowed,
