Hi Jason W
Jls said he also needed  libcanberra0.

jls:
Hi
I don't have libcamberra0, actually according to the following command which I don't know if it's right:

--- Code: ---jls@pc1:~$ grep camberra /tmp/.debinstalled
jls@pc1:~$

--- End code ---
Starting the pc and opening firefox on the ivory coast tv I have no audio, but doing a speaker-test from the terminal and then reopening firefox I have audio.

ciao

Jason W:
I noticed html5 video without audio also when gstreamer1.0-libav was installed.  I tried to zero in on which dep is needed as I get html5 video/audio in firefox on my large desktop install.  I will try to find the missing dep later today.  libcamberra0 is not present in my desktop setup also. 

Jason W:
Firefox gives a pop up saying pulseaudio needs to be running when I go to the below site to test html5 audio:

https://hpr.dogphilosophy.net/test/

I am testing dCore-bionic64, but as mentioned earlier my full desktop works with html5 audio, and also pulseaudio is running.  My basic setup of the same system with only xorg-all, firefox, icewm, and gstreamer packages and pulseaudio does not work.  And pulseaudio will not run on that basic setup.  I see pulseaudio not running on my dCore-stretch install either and therefore no html5 sound. 

It seems to me there is a missing dep that is preventing pulseaudio from running as the only difference between my dCore-bionic64 installs is the amount of packages installed.  I will keep looking and hopefully find an answer.  Until pulseaudio can run, all the otherwise needed deps to support html5 audio can be installed to no avail of course.

 

Jason W:
The deps are in place for firefox to use html5 audio and video, gstreamer1.0-libav is a dep of firefox now which is the only dep needed that was included before.  What is needed is pulseaudio running during an X session when it is present which is a dep of firefox, and I am working on making pulseaudio run by default when it is installed.
