I have Firefox-45.9.0 in NetBSD-7.1. and can watch videos in Youtube, but without audio. Does somebody knows how to enable the missing audio?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
TIA

Hi,
Is any other program able to send output to speakers? If not, see the audio guide for initial troubleshooting: https://wiki.netbsd.org/guide/audio/. Also, make sure sound is not muted at hardware level, see mixerctl(1)
Regarding firefox, did you use the binary or compiled it from source? In the latter case which audio backend did you build it against (default is OSS)?
If ALSA, what's in your ~/.asoundrc? Does it happen on firefox52 and the firefox61 nightly-build too?
In 7.x built-in kernel mixer is not available, so remember only a single process can play sound at a time.

Yes, Xmms sends output to speakers and sound can be heard from mp3 files. Firefox was installed from binaries (pkgin).

looked up by opening a browser tab at url 'about:suppport', and
changed in about:config, by adding a new string named

player of choice.
If it doesn't work would you mind checking this affects firefox52 too?

$ pactl set-sink-volume 0 100%
W: [(null)] caps.c: Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped now,
but that's impossible because PulseAudio was built without capabilities support.

In URL about:config new string is shown as:
media.cubeb.backend user set string /dev/audio
Still no audio in Youtube.

Pulseaudio depends on DBus, and this looks like a DBus issue;
sysutils/dbus was surely pulled by pkgin as dependency
for firefox45, but did you actually enable the service?
If not please do
# cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/dbus /etc/rc.d
# echo dbus=YES >> /etc/rc.conf
# service dbus start
Then kill and restart firefox if any instance's running
and see if sound works. If not, please logout from your X session
and start a new one (or simply reboot), as pulseaudio may
want to start as a session bus instance of dbus-daemon
In URL about:config new string is shown as:
media.cubeb.backend user set string /dev/audio
Still no audio in Youtube.
AFAIK (but may be worng) media.cubeb.backend should
never point to the actual /dev node, rather to the
sound-sever/midi-player to use (oss, alsa, pulse, esound, sunaudio,sndio).
Was it you to set it so?
In this case would you mind reverting the change?
Hope this helps,
Best regards
Thank you for your patience and your time!
Best regards!
