Fresh Install - No sound on Firefox

Hi,

If not solved you can also try to plugin a pair of headphones BEFORE turning on the computer to see if that works.
Had a similar problem and that got me sound (audio output was only virtual, no hardware output for some reason).

I also found out that opening a Terminal and typing :
pulseaudio -k
and reopening the wanted application worked.

Bonus : read also that doing

sudo alsa force-reload

in terminal afterwords could help.

Did you solve it? If so well, then that just great! :) Would you mind sharing what worked for you so anyone else with the same problem knows it?

You're welcome @crib !

The idea of using pale moon was to rule out that the problem only affected firefox but now we can see it's system wide, so, first thing to try is to make sure the right sound device is selected. Click on the volume icon in xfce4 panel and select open mixer go to the configuration tab, change the device and play some media to check where there's or not any sound.

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!

Sorry, I forgot to mention that in order to run pale moon first you have to right-click on the executable file, in the menu that pops up select properties, a new window opens, go to permissions tab and check the box where it reads execute this file or something like that - my system's in spanish so I'm not sure what the actual words are but it certainly involves the words execute and file -  then double click on the pale moon executable and it should run.

hope this helps! :)

The fix is much easier than you think. If you read that Github page, the very first sentence says audio is supported in Kernel 5.3 So just get that version from Lite Tweaks, Kernel Installer. That's one of the reasons why we build those kernels. To support newer hardware :)
