[gentoo-user] no sound on upgraded Firefox from 7 to 8 - using pulse audio

December 04th, 2011 - 04:50 pm ET by Francisco Ares | Report spam

Hi,

I have just upgraded Firefox from 7 to 8 and after that I was unable to
hear the sound of videoclips from YouTube, for instance.

I remember there was a little trick to make past versions of FF to work
with pulse audio (that I use so VirtualBox machines can also play sounds),
but can't find what it was.

Any hints, please?

Thanks
Francisco

$ cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}

ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}

pcm.!default {
type pulse
}

ctl.!default {
type pulse
}

Do you have this?
