Recently there have been a number of reports about no sound output in various browsers when - for instance - playing youtube videos.
This has affected systems with and without PulseAudio enabled.
The following might help fix the problem.
Different solutions provided by two members of the community for both situations.
****
Create a file (or use an existing one if present) at
/home/<your user name>/.asoundrc ## Note this is a 'hidden' file.
Into that file copy and paste the following lines ...... one set if you are using PulseAudio and the other if not using PulseAudio, and are experiencing the Browser sound problem. Log out and back in again ... or do a reboot if that does not work.
With PA enabled and workingpcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}Without PA enabledpcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}Depending on the hardware in the PC, the card number *might* need to be edited.
Use the following command to determine your card's number
aplay -l (lower case L)
