All has been working fine for sometime now, but yesterday I noticed that Firefox sound is at about half volume. Chrome volume is just fine. So I cleared the FF cache,
that made no change. What else to try?
what desktop are you using
pulse audio stores per application volume settings, in plasma 5 when playing sound there should be a volume bar for firefox, or you can delete the plasma config files and go back to the defaults
rm -r ~/.config/pulse
I generally use mate or gnome, but I have the same problem in plasma.
rm: cannot remove ‘/root/.config/pulse’: No such file or directory
I have no idea how you control volume in gtk desktops do you have PulseAudio Volume Control installed
if not install it
zypper in pavucontrol
and use it to set the desired levels
or just delete the old config files
rm -r ~/.config/pulse
I installed the pulse audio control… made not difference… ran terminal rm command
rm: cannot remove ‘/root/.config/pulse’: No such file or directory
You have to run pavucontrol and adjust sound for each app
That should be your home not root’s home Don’t run that command as root
~/.config/pulse
That is in root’s home directory. As you never log in as root, there should not be such a file.
Well now I have gone form half volume in FF to zero and from full volume in Chromium to zero.
Un-installed pavcontrol which did no good anyway. So I am now completely without sound.
Hi
Remove the gstreamer cache file;
rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin
If that doesn’t work, logout, login. If still no joy, create a test user and login as your test user, does it duplicate?
Well for some reason unknown to me…I shut down computer…re-started computer… now everything went back to normal, in all desktops, gnome, mate, plasma 5… And thanks everyone. I did not need the last suggestions welcome as they are. I wonder what happened because all has been working just fine, no problems at all and
then last night I noticed the Firefox sound. Perhaps one of the updates changed something. Thanks again.
