No Audio in Firefox (Solved)

[Member Marco_]

Hello,

No Audio in Firefox…

installed pulseaudio

Pulse audio shows “establishing a connection please wait”.

Found a command online “pulseaudio -d”

Works only until reboot.

What does the command pulseaudio -d do?

How do I make it stick?

Thanks

Hi.
One way to make it stick:
Go to Control Center-> Session->User Desktop Session configuration and uncomment pulseaudio -D & line. Then save this config file.

A quick search in the forum for pulseaudio would give you the same answer from many voices.

Getting pulseaudio in your system:

1. Installing pulseaudio:
Open a terminal and execute
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol

2. Make pulseaudio launch on startup
Edit startuo file
geany ~/.desktop-session/startup
Add a line that launches pulseaudio

#launch pulseaudio Daemon on startup
pulseaudio -D &

Save and exit

3. Making volume-icon use pulseaudio (and manage volume and properties)
right-click the volume icon in your systray and click on Preferences.
Have External mixer execute pavucontrol. It originally says:
External mixer desktop-defaults-run -t alsamixer
Replace it with:
External mixer pavucontrol

Reboot your system. From this moment on, you will no longer need to add “apulse” to your commands for any pulseaudio dependent browsers/programs.

In antiX, you need to manually configure your startup commands, and this is one of those cases, asking the system to launch pulseaudio daemon on startup.

True. Now it is easier than before. Simply un-comment that line.

Uncomment of this line worked for me.

#launch pulseaudio Daemon on startup
pulseaudio -D &

Saved, rebooted and tested.

Thank you

I moved here from Mx Linux to save on resources for old machines. Much faster with no 100 percent cpu spikes. One more thing to fix then I’ll be good. After I barbecue for the family, I’ll be back to start that topic.

Sound in Firefox whether Quantum or LTS version works fine without pulse Audio. A Layer which audibly and
easily seen on an oscilloscope degrades sound. My rather expensive hifi sounds terrible with piss Audio. Not misspelled it is lousy.

After uncomment of this line “pulseaudio -D &” I’m not getting a mixer gui from right click volume control > open mixer. It doesn’t matter what I put in the external mixer path in preferences.

I just added the icon for pavucontrol in the taskbar.

Doing step 3 in my first comment has always worked for me. After restarting, pavucontrol would launch for me when clicking Open Mixer.
Good thing you found a workaround for your case.

FYI the system was restarted before testing. No deal breaker here.

I like my new home here at antiX-forum.

Thanks

Is it pulseaudio -D & OR -d (lowercase ‘D’)…what is the difference ??

Neither one works for me. when I launch alsamixer player, and play something, no sound emerges from my speakers, even though volume is set at 100%.
Any ideas on what I can do to get my sound working again ??

big D.

try launching pavucontrol and selecting a different output device. If you are using pulseaudio, then now you will need to use pavucontrol to control if muted/unmuted, main output device or specific output device for each application.

If you still have problems, open a new thread and we will try finding out what is going on.
