User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0
Steps to reproduce:
Updated to Firefox-78.3 ESR from 68.1-ESR from CentOS repo on a CentOS-6.10 32-bit machine
Actual results:
After update there is no sound while playing audio/video on firefox (e.g .youtube). Tried safe mode, restart and new profile. Sound works fine on system (Can play local audio files). When I play a video on youtube, the speaker icon also does not come up on the tab header.
There is an open bug in CentOS https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=17767 where user reports Firefox-78 is no longer compatible with pulseaudio shipped on CentOS6
Expected results:
Sound should have played.

From the info in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1889920, it seems Firefox fails to open a cubeb stream.
Would you mind sharing the information under Media
section on the about:support
page in Firefox?
Could you pass the log recorded by running firefox
with MOZ_LOG="cubeb:4"
? If you're using the release version, you can run MOZ_LOG="cubeb:4" firefox
in your terminal to launch the Firefox and get the logs. (or MOZ_LOG="cubeb:4" <path>/<to>/<firefox>
)

I have added the info in a comment above. There is another thing. If I change the setting media.cubeb.sandbox
to false
and then try to play sound, I get a small eror message in top bar "You may need to install the required PulseAudio software". I have the stock pulseaudio that ships with CentOS-6
$ rpm -qa | grep pulseaudio
pulseaudio-gdm-hooks-0.9.21-26.el6.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.21-26.el6.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.21-26.el6.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-devel-0.9.21-26.el6.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-0.9.21-26.el6.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-zeroconf-0.9.21-26.el6.x86_64
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.1.0-1.el6.x86_64
pulseaudio-0.9.21-26.el6.x86_64
pulseaudio-utils-0.9.21-26.el6.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.21-26.el6.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.21-26.el6.x86_64
So I guess it is a pulseaudio version issue but it would nice to have a workaround.

Could you paste your log when running MOZ_LOG="cubeb:4" firefox --new-instance
with media.cubeb.sandbox=false
?

I ran the command and then opened a youtube video and then closed the browser. Here are the logs
$ MOZ_LOG="cubeb:4" firefox --new-instance

An interesting observation is that sound is played correctly when playing flash games in the same browser (I know flash is EOL but some games are flash only and the sound works fine on them). The speaker icon also appears in the tab title which can be clicked to mute the sound. When playing flash, there are no logs logged to the console (if we repeat procedure in previous comment).
