What the title says. Firefox just isn't playing any sound whatsoever.
Troubleshooting:
- Volume mixer indicates that Firefox is using my speakers, along with all other apps. When playing a YouTube video, the green bar is not bouncing. However, all other programs that play sound do so successfully and their green bars are bouncing (see attachment).
- Other web browsers play sound successfully.
- Restarting Firefox and my computer did not help.
- Switching the default sound device and changing back did not help.
- Changing to headphones made no change.
- Tabs are not muted.
- Autoplay settings in about:preferences showed that audio and video were disabled, however changing this setting to allow video and audio, then restarting both Firefox and the computer did not fix the problem. I have no idea how that setting was even changed to begin with. O_o
- Started Firefox in troubleshooting mode; still no sound.
- Started Firefox in a different profile; still no sound.
- Started Firefox in private mode; still no sound.
- Tried ending the audiodg.exe process in task manager and restarted; still no sound.
- Double checked media.autoplay.blocking_policy, was set to 0.
- Double checked media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground -- changed from true to false, restarted Firefox; still no sound.
- Disabled hardware acceleration; still no sound.
- Refreshed Firefox; still no sound.
- Complete uninstall, including the usage of BCUninstaller to uninstall "leftovers". Reinstalled. Still no sound.
I have Apollo installed on my computer and I've reached out to them before for similar issues, but the dev was insistent that Apollo does not cause sound issues. I'm somewhat sceptical, but they're not being helpful at all so I thought I'd ask here, and disclose usage of Apollo so that all bases are covered.
Thank you for your time.
