No sound with Firefox. PC sound is OK. DVD's play sound fine. Firefox stopped.

There is no sound with Firefox 5.0.1 or prior version (updated Firefox in attempt to fix). PC sound work fine. Play Solitaire, sound OK. Play DVD, sound is OK. Not in Firefox. Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash (twice) to no avail. Firefox says all plug ins are up to date.

Hi there,
UPDATE2:
Apparently using another Firefox profile the plugin-container.exe process is no longer take too much memory. However I'm currently seeing a little increase in using resources like threads and memory allocated.
It seems to me that the plugin-container.exe process and plugins installed don't work very well together. Sometimes the firefox.exe process still exists even when I had exited from the main menu (Exit).
Hoever I'm not going to continue this "test" since it is going to take too much time for me.
This thread could be intended as closed for me.
Thanks Chris.

  • I mix a sound with another one, how can I make the background sound larger

    in other words how to adjust the volume of the sound?

  • Problem with Dock Connector, Ipod Charges but doesn't play sounds

    We have two Ipod Touch 3rd generation at home. We recently bought a stereo with a dock to play music from our iTouch.
    One of the Ipods works just fine with it, but the other will only charge and not play music. When I try to see my output options I can only select Ipoud Touch or Apple TV. When I am playing music with the working Ipod I can choose between Dock Connector and Apple TV.
    I have already tried hard reset but nothing has changed.
    Any suggestions? I would REALLy appreciate your help.
    Thanks!

    - Do they both have the same iOS?  The latest is 5.1?
    - Look at the dock connectors for both units and compare them.,  Loof for bent, missing or corroded contacts and other abnormalities.
    - Tey the following with the non-working one:
    - Reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    -Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Takes a while to play sound via audio interface on iMac

    I purchased iMac along with Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 USB audio interface and started having following problems from the beginning.
    When I play video/music on itunes, logic or whatever apps that plays sound, it takes a while(about 20 sec) to play sounds. Sometimes it does not play sounds at all until I turn the volume halfway up on Focusrite Scarlett 6i6. It happens all the time when I play sound for the first time after turning the computer on. It happens when I start using the computer after a while. Sometimes it turns off the sound even when the music/video is being played. I had problem with latest Scarlett driver and still happens after switching to class compliant mode. It seems like it takes time for the computer to wake 6i6 via USB, but I am not sure. Please help!
    computer Specifications:
    - late 2013 iMac / flash 1TB / GTX 780M / 32GB RAM
    - mavericks 10.9.2
    - Just Scarlett 6i6 connected directly via USB
    - no other devices connected, just apple bluetooth keyboard, magic mouse and touchpad
    Softwares:
    - Logic pro x latest version, Kontakt 5.3.0
    - sample rate 44
    Product Info:
    - was using latest 6i6 driver but recently switched to class compatible mode

    Well I have done the disk cleanup and it still didnt fix it. I just got this player yesterday too I have about 3.5 gigs on it. I didnt get my usb 2.0 system yet, but im just really worried about these long load times for the songs on the player. Im gona try loading some mp3s and see how those go.
    edit... I just loaded up some MP3s and they start in about 3-4 seconds. A lot faster then my WMAs from yahoo, but still I was expecting mp3s to play instantly pretty much.Message Edited by Johnwashere on 05-2-2005 2:26 AM

  • Playing sounds in a Java Application?

    Hi,
    I am making a simple chat program, and want to include sounds for sending a receiving messages, but I can't seem to get it to work.
    First, does anybody have an easy solution to just Load 2 clips of aduio, and play them on-command? So when I send a message, I can just play the audio file once with a simple line of code?
    If so, that is way easier than the way I am currently trying :P
    Regards,
    -Josh

    MIDI is very easy to play in your applications. WAV might be a bit trickier.
    For some slightly advanced midi playback, check out this link:
    http://javaalmanac.com/egs/javax.sound.midi/pkg.html
    For basic MIDI playback,
    See "Playing Sounds from an Application" in this article:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/sound/playing.html
    Or see:
    http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip24.html
    As for WAV, maybe this? I've never used WAV.

  • Snow Leopard Mail - Bouncing Icon/Play Sound Rules Cancel Each Other Out

    I recently saw a movie which featured many closeups of a MacBook Pro being used; every time the actor got an e-mail message, the Mail icon bounced in the Dock AND played the New Message Sound. In the current version of Snow Leopard Mail, you can create a Rule to 'Bounce Icon in Dock' when a new message is received. Unfortunately, this disables the New Message Sound. When the user adds another Rule to 'Play Sound', this rule disables the 'Bounce Icon in Dock' feature. At this point, both Rules display as being active, but only one of them works. Anyone know how to get both the New Message Sound AND the bouncing icon? (The actor was able to do it in the movie, but maybe that was just special effects.)

    Look at that:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1262364&tstart=0&messageID=732 9984
    Post 5 and 10
    You can use both rules together (sound & bouncing)

  • Playing Sounds at 40

    Hello,
    I'm currently have an Audigy 2 ZS installed on my PC and am using the Windows Platform SDK to try to play a sound at 40kHz since the spec says it can play sounds up to 46kHz. The trouble is, I can only get my card to play sounds up to 22kHz! I have my card set up to sample at 96kHz that is accepts, but any sound I try to play above 22kHz just does not work. Is Windows stopping me playing this high frequency, or do I need to set a flag or something.
    Any help or directions for help would be appreciated.

    At least on RMAA results you can see Audigy 2 play fine @ >40 Khz.
    I think if you ask this on Right Mark Forum, you maybe get it answered too.

  • Why dont the Mac Pro's with Retina Displays have a CD/DVD drive?

    Why dont the Mac Pro's with Retina Displays have a CD/DVD drive? Will Apple eventually stop producing CD/DVD drives?

    Gethin R wrote:

    Because Apple did not put one in there.
    Will Apple eventually stop producing CD/DVD drives?
    We can't really answer that, but it would not surprise me. More and more of the computers being produced by Apple lack an internal optical drive. If you really need one, get an external such as LowLuster suggests.
    Best of luck.

  • Firefox plays video, but no sound. when I type about:plugins in location bar, it shows the firefox default plugin is not enabled. When I look at my plugins, it says it is enabled. I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result.

    firefox plays video, but no sound. when I type about:plugins in location bar, it shows the firefox default plugin is not enabled. When I look at my plugins, it says it is enabled. I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result. Why do I have no sound. Computer plays I-tunes and all other sounds, just no web browser sounds.

    Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
    The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

  • No sound with Flash in Firefox - making me crazy

    No sound plays from any flash objects in Firefox (so, that
    includes sites with flash videos like youtube or other sites like
    homestarrunner.com, etc). Here's what I've tried:
    --I can play music from my hard drive (so it's not a problem
    with my speakers or audio settings). Also, Flash works fine (video
    AND audio) in IE.
    --Disabled and then uninstalled all extensions (so it's not a
    problem with an add-on)
    --Uninstalled and then reinstalled FF
    --Emptied all temp files, recycle bin, cleared cache, etc.
    --Ran CCleaner and cleared cache of Flash
    --Searched this forum for potential causes of the problem
    ("no audio" and "no sound")--looks like a lot of people have had
    this problem, and there isn't a consensus regarding the cause or
    the best solution.
    --Note: I don't have Audacity installed, and the setting on
    my sound card is set at 48000 Hz.
    I'm using FF 2.0.0.4, Flash version 9.0.45.0 (the most recent
    version), and Vista. The problem started suddenly about a week ago;
    I can't think what could have triggered it. I wasn't downloading
    crap, not surfing sketchy sites, I don't know.
    Anyone have any ideas? I don't spend a lot of time on sites
    like youtube, but it's the principle of it... it "should" work, and
    it's making me crazy that I can't figure out why it's not working.
    I would be really grateful if anyone could give me suggestions
    about what else to try. Give it your best shot... it's a
    brainteaser :-) I'm willing to try pretty much anything, save
    reinstalling the OS.
    Thanks so much!

    I read somewhere that, in the registry, there should be "a
    subkey named wavemapper which has a string value of msacm32.drv."
    Yep, that's in place.
    I've also started Firefox in safe mode, which disables all
    add-ons, etc. Still no sound.
    The more I read around, this seems to be a pretty common
    problem, except none of the solutions seem to work for me! Any
    input? Anyone?
    Thanks in advance.

  • After being open for a while (with several tabs) Firefox becomes generally unresponsive and stops playing sound - videos will still play, but no sound.

    This problem has only begun happening recently. I commonly keep my Firefox open overnight with websites like rainymood.com or grooveshark.com playing, as well as several other tabs including but not limited to Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube. Sometimes, after several hours/days of not restarting Firefox or my computer, Firefox begins to become unresponsive - that is to say, pages take a long time to load, opening new tabs is difficult for the browser, and videos will take up to 30 seconds to begin playing. In addition to this, sound will stop playing; if I begin a YouTube video, after the initial period of excessive loading, the video will play, but without any audio. Also, websites such as rainymood.com and grooveshark, even Facebook, will stop making sound.
    Note that this is different from a flash plugin crash - when flash crashes, both audio and video become inaccessible and a simple refresh or restart of Firefox will solve the problem. But what is happening here is different; if I refresh the tab, nothing changes, and even if I restart Firefox, it opens again the same way until I restart my computer completely.
    Also of note: I have had, in the past, this same thing happen but rainymood.com continued playing, however no other tabs would make sound. The problem is sporadic and I'm not sure where to begin. Also, sometimes this is only a Firefox-specific problem, meaning other programs on my computer can make sounds, but sometimes this problem makes my entire computer stop making sounds, except for Ventrilo, which works but is also unresponsive at first.

    You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Quicktime movies playing sound with no picture (only in firefox)

    Hi There,
    I'm having a weird issue with quicktime in firefox on apple macs. I'm not really familiar with macs and I was wondering if someone can offer a solution? When I visit the page in firefox on a mac the video plays sound but not the picture. This seems to happen to all firefox browsers that I have tested.
    I have a test link here for people to look at. http://www.wellcom.net.au/quicktime.aspx

    To Apple Discussions!
    Thank you for providing the link for others to test for you. A got a flash video which I had no problem viewing with sound. The picture did take a few seconds to appear. However, the sound came in right away. Here is the direct video link: http://www.wellcom.net.au/images/movingimages/BookCity.mp4
    Picture & sound was instant from the .mp4 link.
    Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software, repair permissions & restart your computer.
    If the above does not work, then please advise which version of FireFox you are using?
