Does a pre-requisite checklist exist anywhere, for getting Firefox to generate
sound from my speakers, while streaming audio from the internet, such as a favourite radio station(s) or a tune from YouTube?
I've spent the better part of 2 days trolling thru various help sites and trying
just about everything, including installing and demoing the latest version of Firefox.
The sound works OK with my other browsers such as Brave and TOR. And my audio files (.wav .flac .mp3) stored on my attached SSD devices, stream OK also. So I don't think I have a configuration issue with my O/S (Debian 12.7 with KDE Plasma 5.27.5 desktop; Wayland; Pipewire). Kernel version is 6.1.0-26. Hardware is Ryzen5 7600 on an ASUS Prime X670-P wifi board.
I'm simply deploying a USB cable (an AudioQuest cable) from a dedicated internal PCIe USB card, to a Schiit Audio Modius DAC, and then the rest of the flow thru my regular stereo preamp and amp, to my unpowered Klipsch speakers.
Now, I've switched back to using the ESR 128.1.3 version of Firefox, installed via Synaptic Package manager, but with no effect.
Firefox on its own, works fine, except that it just won't give any sound when streaming internet audio. It is reporting the audio backend as: pulse-rust.
I can't install any base PulseAudio packages (except the ones that cooperate with PipeWire), without clobbering my Pipewire setup (according to the Synaptic Package manager). I also have the base ALSA packages installed.
I realize that for some time, FF has relied on PulseAudio to generate sound, but it seems odd that the other browsers are working OK for sound. And I can't see any red flags in the system log either. Perhaps missing codecs? At this point I'm throwing up my hands. Any suggestions? Thanks. My rig is 6 months old, and my O/S (Deb 12.7) is up to date.
So the keywords here are: " KDE Plasma, Pipewire, Firefox, No-Sound, internet streaming audio ".
