RickGT351,
Try OscarTalks pet only.
What version of Puppy?
Have you tried to install PulseAudio?
If yes.
Do not have PulseAudio installed.
Only install OscarTalks pet.

Was running Slacko-5.7.0-pae->Firefox-52.0, and getting no sound [in youtube videos].
Installed the above .pet, and now I get sound.

The 64 bit apulse pet was also useful for getting audio on Firefox 52
in FATDOG 710 (which requires GTK3 to support Firefox). FATDOG doesn't
use pets but it offers to extract them. Then the three .SO files are copied
to the lib64 folder.

Precise 5.7.1
Update I figured out why pulse audio wasn't working but got these grumpy comments too. Also no sound
Code: Select all
# pulseaudio --system
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-exit not set!
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-module-loading not set!
N: [pulseaudio] main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling SHM mode!
N: [pulseaudio] main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling exit idle time!
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: Home directory of user 'root' is not '/var/run/pulse', ignoring.
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: OK, so you are running PA in system mode. Please note that you most likely shouldn't be doing that.
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: If you do it nonetheless then it's your own fault if things don't work as expected.
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: Please read http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WhatIsWrongWithSystemMode for an explanation why system mode is usually a bad idea.
W: [pulseaudio] module.c: module-detect is deprecated: Please use module-udev-detect instead of module-detect!

As Semme says.
Make sure to remove PulseAudio.
Reboot.
Before installing the pet.
Do Not Have PulseAudio Installed.
If both are installed.
Uninstall both.
Reboot.
Install only OscarTalks pet.
If this is what you have done, than tell us?

Is this with or without Flash installed?

A note on browsers that use Firefox code:
Seamonkey 2.49a1 (nightly) is the first version that doesn't have audio,
and it corresponds to Firefox 50. The apulse pet fixes the issue as
expected.
Browsers such as cyberfox will also most probably lack audio after
updating, and they should respond to the apulse solution.
Had same issue! See you later for now, Firefox52(deleted)

I know this is to get Firefox working but Firefox seems to need more work than the recent Palemoon version. Lately im using sites with JW-player(for movie sites) , flash-players(youtube), and adobe-flash(even Spotify-web) all are working well. What took the cake for me, was getting Firefox to even notice the adobe flash install, i finally got it working in Palemoon(27.2.0-32bit) and moved on! Palemoon comes with some Puppies, and its almost just like Firefox, isn't it? thanks..

Thanks! I think the getflash-1.6.1.pet fixed some browser issues for me. I have more space for all my libs and dependency tweaking without Firefox now, but isn't their a fix for pulse audio in the new Firefox52? try newest flash install.

You only need to quote when it's relevant, and then, selectively.

Interestingly, I've just tried out FF52 in Tahr 6.05 (32-bit).....and have sound straight away in FireFox, without needing to install Oscar's 'aPulse' .pet.
Mind you, this could be because I already have the PulseAudio sound server installed in Tahr, as part of watchdog's 'workaround' for getting video-calling working in Skype..... That's why I've tried FF52 in Tahr; to see if it
would work straight away.....even though I'm not an FF user in general.
Curiosity killed the cat, so they say.....
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 153#892153
Still can't persuade NetFlix to work, though. It works OOTB in 64-bit FF52......
Weird. And that's
despite using my own documented 'workaround' from here:-
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=108334
And having said that, I now find that as of Wednesday this week, you no longer even need to spoof the user-agent in Linux for FF. NetFlix just works.....because they've finally added Linux support for FireFox.
Mike.

As a carry-over from my previous post, I've just installed FF52 in Precise 571, along with Oscar's aPulse .pet.....and everything's behaving itself. Even NetFlix, would you believe!
From what I understand, NetFlix are supposed to have made a few changes at some point last week, which means that all you need to do for watching stuff in 32-bit FF is to enable DRM in Preferences->'Content' (and install aPulse for the sound.)
I'm still using the agent-switcher, though. Doesn't appear to be having any adverse effects....
So there we are. NetFlix in 32-bit FF52 at long last..!
Mike.

Just revisited this and on the latest Tahrpup/Fx52.2 this was the fix.
