After getting sound working correctly in Firefox on one of my Sun Ray
servers, I was rather puzzled why the same configuration changes didn't
yield the same result on my other server. Both servers run Scientific
Linux 5.x which is basically a repackaging of RHEL 5.x.
The source of the problem turned out to be a yum update of the
kernel a couple of weeks earlier. The SRSS kernel drivers had not
gotten copied over to the new /lib/modules directory and were therefore
not getting loaded. The drivers are also required for USB devices like
flash drives so it wasn't just sound that wasn't working.
The lesson here is that if you are running a RHEL or derivative
server you need to make sure the SRSS drivers (utadem.ko utdiskctl.ko
utdisk.ko utio.ko) are located in the right place after a new kernel is
installed (/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc).
