User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox is installed on my home computer, which I connect to via RDP while away.

Actual results:

Firefox loses audio capabilities. No audio will play from any source, ie youtube or other streaming sources (reddit, pandora, etc)

Expected results:

Firefox should not be dropping audio. I recently switched from Waterfox because it has gotten too far behind with support of certain add-ons. Waterfox did not have this issue.

Confirmed no audio on youtube on Firefox Nightly using Remmina to connect to a Windows 10 host from a Ubuntu 18.04 system using RDP.

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Priority: -- → P3

It turns out Remmina lacks an audio output, but using a second windows machine, I get audio with Chrome but not with Firefox.

Severity: normal → S3
