I had firefox muted in volume mixer. Probably would have found it easier if I wasn't using windows 10 to be honest. Really should either downgrade back to good old windows 7 or download Linux.
</p><p>That being said though thanks for your help.

</p>Your preferences are permissive so they don't seem to be the problem. Try troubleshooting.

I went into permissions and it was selected to block audio by default. I since went into settings and firefox and changed it to allow audio by default. However there is still no audio.
