[Solved] no sound in youtube in firefox

Hi.

After some update there is no sound when playing youtube in firefox but sound is working.
For example firefox plugin Nagios Checker plays sound and other pages does.

When I start FF in terminal it prints:

me.pt[i]: down me.soundBT[down]:true me.results[down][1]:2 me.results[down][2]:0
me.pt[i]: unreachable me.soundBT[unreachable]:true me.results[unreachable][1]:0 me.results[unreachable][2]:0
me.pt[i]: unknown me.soundBT[unknown]:true me.results[unknown][1]:0 me.results[unknown][2]:0
me.pt[i]: warning me.soundBT[warning]:true me.results[warning][1]:1 me.results[warning][2]:0
me.pt[i]: critical me.soundBT[critical]:true me.results[critical][1]:1 me.results[critical][2]:0

How can I figure out why there is no sound in Youtube and how to repair back my FF ?

ps aux | grep pulse

Firefox hard-depends on pulseaudio now. You can though use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/apulse/

This is very strange dependence. I have no pulseaudio but I'll try.

Pacman's output is worth paying attention to:

(1/1) installing firefox                                                              [-------------------------------------------------] 100%
Optional dependencies for firefox
    networkmanager: Location detection via available WiFi networks
    libnotify: Notification integration [installed]
    pulseaudio: Audio support

After installing pulseaudion sound works in FF but I had to reboot after installing pulseaudio -- systemctl start pulseaudio did not work.

Re: [Solved] no sound in youtube in firefox

Because you started it in the system session instead of the user session
