Screenshot of Talky detecting multiple microphones
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD amd64; rv:74.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/74.0
Steps to reproduce:
When the device list changes (new USB devices plugged in/out, PulseAudio restarted), the list of devices that Firefox offers to the user doesn't change.
The browser needs to be restarted for the list to be re-read, which isn't an optimal behavior.
Actual results:
The audio device lists remain the same.
Expected results:
Re-read the audio device lists every time before displaying them to the user.

I've set a component in order to get the dev team involved.
If you feel like it's an incorrect one please feel free to change it or assing one that suits it.

The priority flag is not set for this bug.
:gcp, could you have a look please?
For more information, please visit auto_nag documentation.

Although the description is somewhat unclear, I assume this is about WebRTC.

Alex, would you mind having a first pass at this? If this is only appearing on Linux I think it is probably a lower level issue than gUM, perhaps Cubeb?

This works here, it must be something regarding the PulseAudio configuration. Can you please capture log using the following steps:
In the terminal:
# which firefox
# /usr/bin/firefox
# MOZ_LOG=cubeb:4 /usr/bin/firefox -P (edited according to comment 6)
Enumerate the devices
Plug or unplug a device
Close firefox
Copy and paste the stdout of the terminal here.
If the device change notification works I expect to see the corresponding logs.

Because this bug's Severity has not been changed from the default since it was filed, and it's Priority is -- (Backlog,) indicating it has has not been previously triaged, the bug's Severity is being updated to -- (default, untriaged.)

Closed because not actionable and we can't reproduce. Reporter, if you can get us logs (procedure in comment 5), please comment or reopen, thanks!

… The browser needs to be restarted for the list to be re-read, …
Not reproducible with Firefox 84 on FreeBSD-CURRENT.
I connected a USB headset, opened a new tab, browsed to https://talky.io/usb-audio-freebsd and found the headset listed.
