EMBED SRC="sound.wav" HEIGHT=1 WIDTH=1 HIDDEN=TRUE No Longer Works with Firefox 22.0

I am a web developer and ever since the Firefox 22 update, sounds no longer play for any users on the website. I have even recreated the problem myself on a clean install of windows 7/clean firefox/clean quicktime install. The sound code worked flawlessly prior to the 22.0 update and has caused a big rift between my users and myself, mostly blaming me and not putting any blame on Mozilla. It has been frustrating as all of us have tried to work through our own ways/solutions with absolutely no fixes. The sound in question is located at http://www.trophyfishingonline.com (sorry but you'd have to register/login) but after, you click simply "Test Sound" and it will attempt to play. Prior to installing Quicktime, it did instruct me to download the plugin which I did and it did not work or play. Again, this worked flawlessly years for everyone(including myself) on Firefox and suddenly it does not work across the board for hundreds of users on different platforms, installations, etc. Please help - this is a bit of an emergency as a web developer who relies on the Firefox platform for his business.

I found the related bug (looks like it will be fixed in Firefox 23)

Trying to embed a wmv video in website to work with Firefox. Video works but the controls appear then disappear. How can I get the cotnrols to show and stay. Works in all other browsers.

Here's the code I used:

</EMBED></nowiki></pre>
Also tried showcontrols=1

I had this exact problem too. Unlike IE, firefox wasn't scaling the video to fit into the height and width I defined. As a result the controls were disappearing off the bottom.
I found that by making the height of the window 50px larger than the videos native height, the controls were displayed permenantly. Since the other browsers scale the video to fit the window, this solution works for them all.

Embed EA into WordPress site.....EdgeSuite no longer works

I'm trying to embed a brief .an preso into my clients' WordPress site. In the past, I'd use the EdgeSuite plugin to assist me with this, but since this latest update, it no longer allows me to use it. Even the plugin author has said as much.
So now I'm trying to do it the old fashioned way of just moving the code over to my theme's index.php and header.php. It's just not working. All I get is the preloading circle and that's it.
Unfortunately, I cannot show you the example, since it's not public just yet.
I created a folder on my server called 'edge' and placed all my files there. Then I took the code the .html file produced and placed the scripts into my header.php (altering the references to point to the new 'edge' folder) and then the div holding the animation into my index.php since this is just for the homepage of the site. Nothing else.
The tutorials to show how to do this online are out of date, so I'm just looking for some help on the newer way to incorporate EA into my WP.

I am seeing your issue. We had an issue with a script being called twice, which in most browsers the same script being called twice in a page would just run the Script. For some reason Firefox did not allow the script to run because it was in there twice. PLUS there was an issue with the Script being INSIDE the body tag.
You could try, if you know how to edit your Wordpress templates, to try to move your Javascript to inside the <head> instead of inside the <body> tag. I know this is not ideal because of page load issues, but this may fix your issue in Firefox, assuming you want it to work in Firefox.
There seems to be a bug, from my experience so far, that Firefox does not like "inline" Javascript and is breaking the Javascript when other browsers render it fine.
I see that a call to eva() (in your cforms.js) is being used and it is being blocked by CSP (Content Security Policy). Which looks like Firefox added something in the Browser that blocks eval() from being used. Typically eval() is considered unsafe, BUT typically still runs on other browsers, seems like Firefox just breaks the code if it finds it.
You may try to use a different forms plugin too instead of cforms.js because of the eval() method being used.

Why is sound no longer working with MBA?

The top right sound icon is no longer available eventhough system preferences has shown volume in menu bar ticked. In systems preferences, the sound is on mute and cannot remove the mute so there is no sound. In output devices, no output device is available. This is also for input devices which means I can no longer listen to iTunes or use skype.
Can anyone please help? this is a major cause of pain:(

My MBA had no sound for a while, there were no hardware to choose/select in the system preference nor in About this MAC option.
I've tried everything possible (other then sending it in for repairs) to restore the sound.
I've tried all of the options suggested in forums etc.
1. Reset the NVRAM = no success
2. Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) = No Success
1. MacBook Air
A. If the MacBook Air is on, turn it off.
B. Connect the power adaptor to a working power source.
C. On the MacBook Air keyboard, press (left) Shift-Control-Option along with the power button once. Note: You must use the keys on the left side of the MacBook Air keyboard.
D. Wait 5 seconds and press the power button to start the MacBook Air.
3. Ran Apple Hardware Diagnostics = No problems found.
Well long story short. I had order a hard shell cover for my MBA. During the process of snapping on my cover, my sound came back! I couldn't believe it, I thought it was from something other than the MBA. I realize during the process of putting on the shell cover, I had to apply pressure at specific points on my MBA. I applied pressure to each location where the cover had a snap lever.
I believe this pressure may have push in the cabling / pins for the sound card. Since then I have not loss my sound capabilities.
I thought it might have been a fluke. Therefore I shut the MBA down and restarted it and I heard the startup sound. I did this several times to ensure it was working properly.
So far it has been two weeks and sound still works!
What do you have to loose? Try applying pressure (not too hard though) on the sides of the MBA, along the left and right sides of the monitor and the left and right of the keyboard. It may or may not work, but it is worth a try before sending the MBA in for repairs.
Good luck and I hope it works for those who are having sound problems with their MBA.

HTTP Streaming WAV audio no longer works with quicktime 7.7.3 OSX or 7.7.5 in windows

The latest revisions of quicktime (as plugin) no longer play our webservice's streamed audio files. The audio is simply encoded wav all javascript hooks seem to work properly, but there is no resulting audio output. Reverting to previous revisions of quicktime on the same platforms restores the expected behavior.
The files are streamed over authenticated HTTPS connections and are encoded as "RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, ITU G.711 mu-law, stereo 8000 Hz". If the file is downloaded to the local machine, the quicktime player application has no problems playing the audio. Similarly, dropping a file: URL to the download into the web browser also plays correctly. The issue started with Quicktime 7.7.3 on OSX with Safari (Yosemite) and 7.7.5 on Windows (Chrome and Firefox). Mavericks and previous Windows quicktime plugins work correctly. This is especially problematic for our Mac OS clients because we have not been able to identify a current working combination or a functional downgrade path other than to downgrade the OS to Mavericks.
Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Jon, I read. But the links to websites are not playing on a Windows7 computer. Can you tell me why they are not?
I believe that with a new dawn comes new understanding of the problem.
I do not have access to a Windows 7 computer nor do I run Windows on my Mac.
I am not a web coding programmer. However...
Neither of the original poster's links (http://openmap.bbn.com/~mthome/quicktimeaudio.html and http://openmap.bbn.com/~mthome/wavtest.wav) work because they both point to the same HTML (quicktimeaudio.html) file.
The HTML file looks like this:
This file appears to look for the QT plug-in to see if QT is installed, if the version is v7.7.6, and whether or not the WAV extension is supported.
When I click on either link, this is what I see:
Although I am running:
the browser display shown above indicates the HTML code thinks that QT is not installed rather than being the wrong version and then, instead of terminating the browser processing and displaying the correct error message, the HTML code falls through to a display of the audio media controller and automatically starts playback. Unfortunately, since confirmation of WAV playback support was skipped (or for some other reason), the QT plug-in does not access the required codec (or fails to send the data to the handler) and no audio is heard when playing the WAV audio file. In short, even though I am not a web programmer, I believe the main issue here is the coding of the HTML file.
When I "re-containered" the original poster's WAV file and posted it on my own server, I created a URL link that actually pointed to the WAV resource and not to the HTML file code as did the OP's secondary link. Thus, when I accessed the audio file, I did so directly via the plug-in, by-passing the HTML file code issue and allowing the file data to play correctly in Safari under both Yosemite and IOS 8.
Believe the HTML file needs to be re-coded to fix the problem. I can now play the original 8-bit µ-law encoded WAV file in players and Safari but believe the OP here should consider a more modern compression format/file container combination that would allow him to abandon use of the QT player plug-in to maintain compatibility with "plug-in free" browsers. For instance, would HTML5 coding be able to play AAC encoded content in MOV, MP4, M4V, and/or M4A file containers? Once again, questions like this are beyond my expertise and need to be answered by someone proficient in this area.

The choice of headphone jack is not showing up under the system preferences - sound output options. Therefor, my speakers suddenly do not work with my iMac

On my Intel based iMac, OS 10.6.8, my speakers suddenly were not transmitting sound. When I checked the System Preferences, Sound output, the headphone option was no longer available. This has always worked in the past - what is up?
Anyone have any suggestions???
Ellen

Applications > Utilities > AudioMIDI Setup.app
Audio Devices window
Side Bar
Click the Built-in Output.
Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so uncheck it.
Plug in the headphone and check whether in the output headphone shows up in the same panel.
If so, you can adjust the volume there.
Reset SMC and PRAM.

Sound not working with Firefox

I have firefox installed (Shiretoko) and installed the flash plugin and java plugin. Flash seems to work but without any sound. I am positive that it was working at first. I'm not sure exactly when it stopped working but I think it was when i installed the gstreamer plugins then switched to xine. I switched back to gstreamer but it is still not working. I really dont know where to go with this one. Sound works for everything else.

I just got this problem as well. Sound has worked fine for me for ages, never had a problem with it. I run alsa only and of course this means that you can only play from one source at once, the only two being mplayer and Firefox. Recently Firefox's audio stopped working. Flash, inbuilt player, and mplayer plugin. I have never needed to blacklist the OSS modules before. I would really like Firefox sound back, any tips would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Speaker test doesn't work either, and it appears all things ALSA are broken (aplay is broken as well). Mplayer now claims it's playing to OSS. How in the world did alsa get borked? Is there a way to reset it?
EDIT: Thanks to finding the source of the problem I was able to fix it. It looks like the volume levels were really corrupted or something; following the wiki advice for first run levels fixed it for me.

My keyboard sound buttons no longer work in Firefox 13.1

Ever since the most recent firefox update, if I want to turn down a youtube video using my keyboard sound control buttons, I have to unselect my firefox window. Any solution for this?

hello, i think this is caused by the update of adobe's flash plugin to version 11.3 which has introduced a socalled protected mode, which apparently is breaking the transmission of hotkey input back to the operating system when flash has focus.
you could try [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071 disabling protected mode] in flash or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580 downgrading to a prior version].

User is getting pop-up message for JRE6 installation with browser IE8, 9, and 10 and also with Mozilla Firefox 22, but it’s failing with latest version of Mozilla Firefox23,24 and 25.
I have gone through so many sites but could find any reason for this behavior.
I have provided JRE6 32-bit version download URL, here I don’t think so I’m doing any version incompatibility because both the JRE6 and Mozilla Firefox are 32-bit version. And 64 bit Firefox version is not available for windows.
I’m not sure why the code is working with Firefox 22 and its lower version but
doesn’t work with higher version than firefox22….like 23,24,25
Can anyone help to sort out this issue?
Thanks, <br />

Sorry for the delay in getting an answer, yesterday was a holiday in the USA.
This forum is for Firefox user support, not for web developer support. My rough guess is that since Mozilla has blocked all but the most recent update for Java 7 Plugins - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/ - and Firefox 23 brought in a new '''Simplified interface for notifications of plugin installation''' - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/releasenotes/ - that is probably why you're having a problem with versions of Firefox after Firefox 22.
Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

The sound of my iPod 5th generation is no longer working

The sound of my iPod touch 5th generation is no longer working. I did not drop it or anything like that. I just noticed that the sound was no longer working but when I plug in my headphones I can hear the sound perfectly. I called Apple today and they told me that I still have a 19 day warranty, they also scheduled an appointment to see if they can replace the iPod. My question is what are the chances of my iPod getting replaced? And if there is something wrong my iPod will they replace?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

Why can't I get embed codes at YouTube using Firefox on my desktop, while it works fine on my Macbook Pro with Firefox? This is a recent change.

Recently, I noticed that when I attempt to "share" a YouTube video and click the share button, I get no embed codes. In fact I get no options at all. And, when I tried to share a YouTube playlist, again, nothing happens except an apparent text box opens that I cannot type or enter anything into. I use a Macbook Pro at work, with Firefox as my browser and everything works just as it should on YouTube. Since this is a quite recent problem with my Dell desktop (Firefox browser) at home, I suspect something has changed resulting in my current issue. Thanks for any help!

YouTube Content Creators have the ability to disable embedding if they wish to keep their videos on YouTube only. This is most likely what has occurred and is more than likely not an issue with Firefox itself.

Sound&music with firefox

I have a correct sound with the speakers of my computer on firefox. But I use a second channel of the mastercard (P4P800E-Deluxe) to send the sound to my stereo which is in another room. It works well with winamp or media player, but it doesn't work with firefox. I don't know if the problem comes from firefox or from the flash plugins used. So when I listen to music on a web site I can not have it in the other room.
Anybody has any clues?
Thanks,
Sylvain

Have you tried IE 10, out of curiousity. Does it play in there?
