2nd User has no audio in firefox and other apps (system auto works)

Hello, I have two users on my Arch and on the second user there is no sound in firefox. Deadbeef for example works fine.

There is no error or output when starting firefox via terminal.
Deadbeef works fine.
Groups of main account: wheel bumblebee vboxusers users
Groups of second account (named kratos): users bumblebee vboxusers kratos

Maybe there is a missing grup or some groups beeing wrong? I have no idea yikes
Thanks !

btw the sound previously worked already...

No suggestions.  Are you using Pulseaudio?  I also note that the working user is a member of wheel; try (at least temporarily) adding kratos to wheel.

Re: 2nd User has no audio in firefox and other apps (system auto works)

Yes I am using pulseaudio + GNOME. Firefox is enabled in the "sound options" of GNOME.

Adding the user to wheel didn't fix the issue hmm

What are you playing in firefox? If it is a flash based site it will be using ALSA, and to properly handle ALSA with pulse you will want the pulseaudio-alsa and alsa-plugin packages.

Re: 2nd User has no audio in firefox and other apps (system auto works)

I had thought that as well, but the first user has no issues (if I understand correctly) it should be systemwide.  That is why I was looking at the user's groups.

Re: 2nd User has no audio in firefox and other apps (system auto works)

I tried youtube videos or vimeo.

Alsa packages are installed and in any case, the sound works well with the main user. But only the second user has problems.

Have you changed any other relevant configuration files such that they are different from stock Arch Linux?

Not that I know of. And even then...what sense does it make that deadbeef and system sounds work but e.g. firefox not.

Re: 2nd User has no audio in firefox and other apps (system auto works)

Are you logged out of your first user? Post 

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pacmd list-sinks
pacmd list-sink-inputs

while attempting to play something on the second user

If there's still a session for your first user, it makes sense in so far that the first user will be blocking access to the card, although pulseaudio should handle the switching properly, do you have a .asoundrc in either user's home directories?

I have tried rebooting, logging directly into the 2nd user and playing smth in firefox -> still no sound.
So the main user wasn't logged in at all.

Anyway, here are the outputs:

Re: 2nd User has no audio in firefox and other apps (system auto works)

You are playing to the HDMI output, I have a hunch that you want to play to your speakers instead: 

pacmd move-sink-input 0 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo #Verify that first number by looking at the sink-input index from pacmd list-sink-inputs

this should be reflected in GNOME's sound settings somewhere, if it isn't use pavucontrol, it would have shown you this discrepancy on first glance (and also allow switching).

I ran the commands again (in case I previously really had mistakenly switched the output to HDMI). This time the output is set to "speakers":

HDMI isn't even connected and the GNOME Sound settings as well as the extension "GNOME Sound Output Chooser" show that "speakers" is set as output. Also, when going into "sound settings" and "testing speakers" it correctly plays on the left/right speakers of my laptop. Still no sound in firefox :S

Try pavucontrol and try adjusting the output settings with it.

No your firefox stream is still set to HDMI, pulseaudio can selectively point applications to a specific output, at some point you or some ALSA update might have changed that to HDMI for firefox ONLY, that's why the rest works and firefox doesn't. As mentioned use pavucontrol, or the command I've given above, while running and playing something in firefox.

Re: 2nd User has no audio in firefox and other apps (system auto works)

Thanks guys, you are awesome !

As soon as I installed pavucontrol, the output that was showing "speakers" instantly jumped to "HDMI"... so I set it back to speaker and now everything works smile

Weird bug though.

Re: 2nd User has no audio in firefox and other apps (system auto works)

I don't think this is a bug, iirc (i don't use GNOME) gnome's sound center doesn't show the per application stream. But will move all active streams on click (it might have been resolvable by simply clicking on the speakers, despite them already being chosen). Sometimes, especially on i.e. alsa-utils updates, it might be that the identifier for the sound card changes. If firefox was started in that timeframe it's possible that it defaulted to HDMI, saved that choice for the firefox stream and didn't change it. However nice to hear we resolved this don't forget to mark as [SOLVED] by editing your initial post's title.
