Hi, The bug mention in https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-use-microphone= -with-firefox.74292/ is still up. But I fixed it and the solution is very s= imple, so if you could add it by default in firefox port it could be cool f= or everyone. Problem Firefox won't use OSS as backend audio server. Observation There's a project created by Firefox that is crossplateform https:/= /github.com/kinetiknz/cubeb. Cubeb is already used in Firefox but it doesn't well configured. Cubeb is maintained for BSD/Illumnos OSS system as shown there : https://github.com/kinetiknz/cubeb/commit/226d383c136b8586b69b74f42= 0a5afc8b243cf49 https://github.com/kinetiknz/cubeb/wiki/Backend-Support where OSS is in tier-2 Fix so simply add in the default about:config these lines : media.cubeb.backend oss media.cubeb.input_voice_routing true and the rest is already configured, check that the line is already = there : media.cubeb.output_voice_routing true Usability when the user use microphone the proposition let you the choice to = use /dev/dspX As in the good old days. PS : I fixed it on firefox-esr Best regards, Philippe Krej=C4=8D=C3=AD Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.
