Fresh Install - No sound on Firefox

Hi Moltke,
I've found a possible solution for the same problem on an ASUS E200HA notebook which specs (https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ASUS-Vivobook-E200HA/specifications/) are similar to mine (https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-atlas-101-2-1-d400-touchscreen-notebook/).
Please have a look at this and see if it makes sense to you:

I haven't acted on anything as I don't have any confidence about messing up with Linux.
Thanks!

Hi Moltke,
Thanks for replying!
I've played a video using VLC but it has no sound either.. The VLC sound card info keeps flicking on the audio mixer and an error message is displayed (please see attached screenshots).
As far as Palemoon installation is concerned, I'm a complete ignorant in Linux so, the easiest of the tasks is really complex for me. I've clicked on the palemoon icon (after extracting the compressed file) and I got a popup to select a program to open it with (please see attached screenshots). I have no clue about it!
I'm running LL 4.6 and it has, apart from the sound problem, has also failed to detect my onboard network card (no wifi out of the box) so I'm using a USB dongle. I also understand that these mickey mouse laptops like this one are prone to offer some challenges to Linux distros but I had a distro called Elive installed on this notebook (just prior installing LL) and it detected everything out of the box... but I prefer LL's feel so I must persist!
This is the hardware report of this notebook:

but Firefox is NOT listed on my VOLUME CONTROL page under playback (all Streams)..
Could anyone help me, please?
Thanks!

Hi @crib and welcome to the forums!
I assume, since you didn't mention it, that everything else works fine, I mean, you can play media say, in vlc and hear that there is sound, is this correct? I have two ideas:
1. You might try with another browser and see if it only happens with firefox, I'd suggest pale moon since you don't have to actually install it to use it, just download the tarball from here http://linux.palemoon.org/download/mainline/ extract it wherever you like, I'd recommend your home dir though, double click on the executable file call palemoon - see the img below - and check whether there's or not sound, if there is sound then you'll be sure it's only firefox, if not, then something else might be happening.
2. Uninstall firefox, open a terminal and type
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get remove firefox
--- End code ---
then reinstall it
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install firefox
--- End code ---
once it's reinstalled, launch it and see if the problem continues. If it does you might try the first method just to rule out any other problem.
Hope this helps! :)
