no Sound from firefox?

when i start the firefox my sound dosent work and also video playback is also paused.but when i start to jack and stop it .all seems to work. i guess somewhere jack is blocking alsa to take over at first.
i am not able to pinpoint from where should i make things right

output of fuser -v/dev/snd

musicarch@musicArch ~]$ fuser -v /dev/snd/*
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:  musicarch    764 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC1:  musicarch    764 F.... pulseaudio
[musicarch@musicArch ~]$

do let me know from where can i make changes .

Re: no Sound from firefox?

How are you bridging JACK and PulseAudio? Are you using Cadence to manage this?

No using qjackctl.

You need to have a bridge between JACK and Pulseaudio. I have no experience with qjackctl so I can't advice you with that but it's fairly straightforward doing it in Cadence so you might want to migrate. You will need to migrate to JACK2 as well if you do so.

Re: no Sound from firefox?

using jack sink and jack-source for bridge.
.jackdrc

usr/bin/jackd -t 200 -p 2048 -R -T -d alsa -n 2 -r 44100 -p 1024 -d hw:PCH,0

i think there is something wrong with this but unable to find out.sometimes it doesnt recognise headphone as well.
