Re: Soundcloud + Firefox works only as root

Do you have pulseaudio or pure alsa setup?
Do you have flashplugin installed?

Yes, I have PulseAudio. And I'm using the 'Fresh Player' project, his perfomance stomps official Adobe Flash...
EDIT: But... I think Soundcloud uses a HTML5 player, am I wrong?

Re: Soundcloud + Firefox works only as root

Some audio problems can often be solved by installing pulseaudio-alsa. If that doesn't work then try to provide some logs like dmesg, systemd-journal, pacman.log etc. Also try running firefox from a terminal maybe there are some useful messages.
