December 20, 2015: Is there a fix in the works for this? Ever since the last
Ubuntu Linux Kernel update; the audio portion specifically belonging to video's
posted through Facebook and its associated pages on their New Proprietary
player, Fails to produce anything but Loud Static. All other Audio/Video
playback from all other sources/web sites do not have this problem. What I do
know, is that the only response from either Facebook or Firefox help concerning
this issue, is for them to completely Ignore any requests for assistance
regarding this specific issue. ..I have tried to make sure all known Audio
driver plug-in's are enabled for the default Firefox browser, but no joy. I
suspect it might have something to do with that Facebook Proprietary Player
being Specifically geared to Microsoft 10 and it's new browser flavour. To the
Exclusion of all other O.S. Kernels. (My other FB 'friends' which use Windows
10 are not experiencing this issue) but Linux Distro users Are experiencing thi
s issue. ..Here's the Issue: Apparently the latest Ubuntu Linux Kernel (Or the
Firefox Browser) Is not adequately supporting the HTML5 Audio with Facebook's
new proprietary video player.
