Greetings,
Is anyone else having sound failure in Firefox? The control panel test is fine.
I've tried several versions: esr and not; with and without clang; firefox-bin;
140.3.1 and 140.4.0. Also with and without several add-ons including uBlock
origin and ghostery.
The web has many tales of woe but few cures.
This may be a long shot. I had this problem with Ubuntu 24.04 last year.
I don't remember where I found this but I had to open VLC media player,
goto tools/preference, goto Audio tab and select output module as
Pipewire audio output instead of Automatic.
I don't know why VLC was affecting Firefox but it did and sound worked
fine afterwards.
Regards,
Eric
