[Solved] Firefox doesn't play wave sound

#1 Post by kenwong »

When I click on the speaker icon (under Pronunciation) on this page, no sound is played:

I have VLC Web Plugin and it is set to Always Activated on my Jessie Stable. Firefox is version 48 from Jessie backports.

However, on my Debian Testing partition, the sound does play without issue.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It now works on Stretch (stable) after updating the kernel to linux-image-4.13.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 via backports.

It doesn't work on mine either.

Chrome plays this sound though, very creepy.

Debian Buster with Kernel 4.13

Could it be different version of 4.13?
