1228869 - Muted tabs reset with terminal server

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Aaron D. Marasco]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0
Build ID: 20151029151421

Steps to reproduce:

Log into machine locally (Windows 7)
Open tab with sound (mine was http://onlineclock.net/bg/fireplace/ )
Mute the tab using the new feature of clicking the speaker in the tab
Log in remotely using "mstsc" / Terminal Server Client (
my exact method is documented at http://www.revragnarok.com/blog/blog/2008/06/01/19.34 but the ssh part shouldn't matter)


Actual results:

Sound comes out of tab until I re-find it and re-mute it


Expected results:

Tab should have stayed muted

This is native <audio> not Flash. This is not a high-priority bug, but Ehsan do you have clues as to what causes this or where a fix might live?

Hmm, this is weird.  Paul, do you know if we do anything fancy about our audio output when you connect to the machine through terminal services?

Also, Aaron, can you please check to see if the same problem happens when you mute the audio using the built-in mute button for example on <http://people.mozilla.org/~eakhgari/small-shot.ogg>?

I can't even replicate it now for myself. :-/

Is there a keyboard hotkey I could have hit that unmuted?

That ogg clip stayed muted across a disconnect just fine. As is the original page now.

I guess you can close it up as "couldn't replicate."

Yeah, I think it's Ctrl+M on Windows.  We show it on the tooltip for the mute button.

OK, fair!  Please reopen the bug if you find a way to reproduce it again.  And thanks for the bug report!  :-)

Please let us know if you can repro, there can be all sorts of madness with terminal server and audio.
