I don't know what exactly you mean with "no audio", but I had problems with |
16 |
MP3 files not decoding anymore around the same time as you did, despite |
17 |
installing Firefox with USE=gstreamer. I finally decided to debug it again |
18 |
today, and had success after installing gst-plugins-mad (although I would be |
19 |
surprised if gst-plugins-lame did not work, either). Now SoundCloud works again! |

For the future, regarding how to debug these issues, you can try the following: |
22 |
|
23 |
- Start Firefox from a terminal to see the log. |
24 |
|
25 |
- Use the debug console (Ctrl-Shift-i) to see site-specific (and plug-in |
26 |
related!) error messages. |
27 |
|
28 |
In my case I was getting gstreamer related assertion failures in the terminal, |
29 |
and the debug console showed many decoding errors. That made it pretty clear |
30 |
that the issue must have something to do with GStreamer. |
