If I use firefox-bin (32 bit) or firefox (64 bit) on youtube, I get |
| 2 |
sound no problems. |
| 3 |
If I run mplayer I get sound also. |
| 4 |
If I use firefox-bin with a java applet that plays sound, I get no sound at all. |
| 5 |
I can't load this applet in firefox, which is why I still use |
| 6 |
firefox-bin for it. |

Googling "no sound in firefox java" gives lots of hits, mainly from |
| 9 |
people with the same problem. |

1 solution was to "modprobe snd-pcm-oss" which did not help. I.m |
| 11 |
fairly sure this is redundant with base layout 2. |

I upgraded the kernel twice, from linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r5 where I |
| 14 |
initially had the problem, |
| 15 |
to linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r8 and now on linux-2.6.38-gentoo-r6 paying |
| 16 |
careful attention to all the sound related configuration options. This |
| 17 |
had no effect. |

I've run out of things to try, so I'm asking the list. |

I previously had a problem where the first firefox session would get |
| 22 |
sound, but no subsequent application, including firefox would have |
| 23 |
sound, in other words the first invocation of firefox would lock the |
| 24 |
sound. I could live with that, this current problem is far more |
| 25 |
annoying. |
