peter.henderson@ieee.org has reassigned Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to gecko@FreeBSD.org: Bug 218704: www/firefox has no sound. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=218704 --- Description --- For www/firefox version 53.0_2,1, sound does not work when built with the standard configuration. I recently installed FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p9 and built all ports from scratch, almost entirely with the default configurations. I found there was no sound in firefox, including YouTube videos. Other applications I tested for sound still worked, including opera, xmms, vlc-qt4 and the chrome browser. After much searching, the suggested solution in various forums is to turn off Pulse Audio in the configuration. This I did. After rebuilding firefox, the sound worked again. For reference, here is the configuration I used, after turning off Pulse Audio. ALSA : on BUNDLED_CAIRO : on CANBERRA : off DBUS : on DEBUG : off DTRACE : on FFMPEG : on GCONF : off GNOMEUI : off INTEGER_SAMPLES: off LIBPROXY : off OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS: on PGO : off PROFILE : off PULSEAUDIO : off RUST : on SNDIO : off TEST : off
