Sound does not work only in Firefox

Post by victorkyochi »

Sound does not work only in Firefox (version 56.0-64bit). In chrome and other softwares work normally..

Recently the audio was not working on linux and I had to install the latest kernel from the 4.10 series.

I installed the pulseaudio and got the following message when I opened:
Connection to PulseAudio failed. Autom. retry in 5s
In this case this is likely because PULSE_Server in the Environment/X11 Root Window Properties or default-server in client.conf is misconfigured. This Situation can also arrise when PulseAudio crashed and left stale details in the X11 Root Window. If this is the case, then PulseAudio should autospawn again, or if this is not configured you should run start-pulseaudio-x11 manually.
