Have you tried playing an audio file from the disk with a medial player (e.g. |
| 18 |
vlc or mpv), to see if sound is produced as expected? |

|
| 20 |
Then did you try to play the same file with Firefox (from within Dolphin use |
| 21 |
'Open with')? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
If both of the above work, as they should, the problem is not with your |
| 24 |
desktop sound settings. Using some plugin on Firefox may come with its own |
| 25 |
sandbox/isolation which complicates matters. |

PS. If it is BBC or some such you want to listen/watch, have you considered |
| 28 |
using get_iplayer? |
