| yanmaani | anyone else here having trouble with audio in Tor Browser? | 21:34 |
|---|---|---|
| fsmithred | yanmaani, yes. I have to use apulse with tor-browser | 21:36 |
| fsmithred | I edited the launcher on the panel to add 'apulse' to the beginning of the command. | 21:36 |
| yanmaani | fsmithred: apulse also gives errors | 22:09 |
| yanmaani | >apulse] [error] do_connect_pcm: can't get initial hw parameters for playback device "default". Error code 1 (Operation not permitted) | 22:10 |
| yanmaani | what does this mean? | 22:10 |
| yanmaani | seems to not work with mpv either | 22:10 |
| fsmithred | did you have sound before? | 22:11 |
| yanmaani | In Tor Browser and mpv, yes | 22:11 |
| yanmaani | with apulse, I installed that recently | 22:12 |
| yanmaani | using mpv works, using normal firefox works, mpv with apulse doesn't work | 22:12 |
| fsmithred | I've never tried apulse with mpv. I just use alsa. | 22:12 |
| yanmaani | `apulse speaker-test` doesn't work | 22:13 |
| fsmithred | googling for that error message gives some hits | 22:13 |
| fsmithred | if it just stopped working for no apparent reason, you might restart some stuff. Log out/in or 'init 1' or reboot. | 22:14 |
| fsmithred | there have been a few times when I used apulse with tor and then I could not get firefox-esr to play sound. | 22:15 |
| yanmaani | seems like apulse has a problem | 22:23 |
| fsmithred | are you in ascii or beowulf? | 22:26 |
| yanmaani | beowulf | 22:30 |
| yanmaani | worked in ascii or the old tor browser, don't remember what broke it | 22:31 |
| fsmithred | I think the old tor-browser did not need pulse | 22:32 |
| yanmaani | No, that's true. When I disable some sandbox stuff it talks about "the required pulseaudio software" | 22:34 |
| yanmaani | How do you list plugins in alsa? | 22:38 |
| yanmaani | >it relies on plug, dmix, and dsnoop ALSA plugins, which are usually enabled by default | 22:38 |
| n4dir | i can make sound work in tor-browser, when using non-repo cadence and starting and bridging pulse. Depending how hard you want this and if you will get a result by other means, it might be an option | 22:45 |
| n4dir | with jack, duh | 22:46 |
| n4dir | and damn, tor should has gotten fast | 22:46 |
| n4dir | should/sure | 22:46 |
| yanmaani | Ah, you have to run | 22:57 |
| yanmaani | APULSE_PLAYBACK_DEVICE=plughw apulse ./start-tor-browser.desktop | 22:57 |
| yanmaani | finally! | 22:57 |
| n4dir | great. sound problems are always big fun ... | 23:03 |
