1750444 - SendCreateAudioIPCConnection failed: invalid FD

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Audio/Video: cubeb, defect, P2)

Description

[lukas.bernhard]

Attachment: audioipc2_server.log

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:98.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/98.0

Steps to reproduce:

Using Firefox Nightly (ASAN build) on ubuntu 21.10.

Actual results:

Audio stops working after using the browser a couple of minutes; however it does work initially. Also, firefox asks whether I'd like to install PulseAudio (which is installed already).
I ran Firefox with 'MOZ_LOG=MediaDecoder:5,AudioStream:5,cubeb:5' and am attaching the logs.

Thanks for reporting this! I'll investigate. As a workaround, you can flip the pref "media.cubeb.sandbox_v2" to false and restart Firefox to avoid this issue.

Set release status flags based on info from the regressing bug 1726279

Comment 3

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

We have multiple reports of audio being broken on Linux since the landing of bug 1726279. Setting as blocker for 98 as we can't ship without audio on a tier 1 platform.

Changing the priority to p2 as the bug is tracked by a release manager for the current nightly.

Bug 1750810 will revert this change for Linux in Nightly 98 until the existing issues are resolved.

Comment 6

[Matthew Gregan [:kinetik]]

This is still disabled via bug 1750810, so not currently affecting 98.

Comment 7

[Matthew Gregan [:kinetik]]

This is likely fixed by the same change required to solve bug 1750477.

Comment 8

[Matthew Gregan [:kinetik]]

The fixes in bug 1757473 should address this issue.

Comment 9

[Matthew Gregan [:kinetik]]

Fixed by bug 1757473.
