User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041122
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041122

When I was on 10.2.8 server, I had a fully functional browser including sounds.
 I upgraded to a new hard drive and 10.4.1 server and now I have no sound at all
from netscape.  Safari plays the embeded sound properly and so do PC users.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install 10 client version of 10.4 server on a fresh drive and then install
updates and mozilla.
2. go to http://robertdell.dyndns.org/errordocuments/404.shtml and wait for
everything to load up.  Listen for the sound effects.

Actual Results:  
no sound

Expected Results:  
i should have heard the file gbu.mp3 being played through the system's selected
audio channel

I checked flash sites that have sound and they reflect no sound either.

Hmm, does it happen with Firefox as well?

Robert,

I recently encountered a similar problem with Firefox and Mozilla not playing embedded mp3 sounds 
after I installed the javaembedding plugin 0.93 on my iMac G4 running OSX 10.3.9.  My solution was to 
remove the javaembedding plugin and install quicktime player 7.0.2 update.  Your problem may not be 
related to the javaembedding plugin, but it is definitely related to the quicktime plugin.  Reinstalling or 
upgrading quicktime player may fix it for you.

Here are the links to my javaembedding plugin bug reports on sourceforge.net.  You might find the
information useful.

Good luck,

I have the same problem in FireFox 1.6a1 in Linux (except there isn't a
Quicktime plugin for the Linux version).  I updated to the latest Flashplayer
plugin, but still can't get sound from websites.  Opera plays the sounds fine,
and so did FF 1.0.4 so it's not an issue with my system.

After rebooting, sound seems to have returned.  Not really sure what the cause
was, but it may not lie strictly with Firefox.
