Sound issues 10.3
Posted: Sun May 15, 2016 10:35 am
Looks like I'm not the only one having an issue with sound. NO sound in firefox on either youtube, or facebook videos. I can make the sound work in Opera on youtube, but nothing on facebook. I'll assume this has something to do with the version only being 12.16, and Opera is now up to 37. I can play music with 'gnome player', but it's the same situation with the sound.
Here is what is happening, when the sound does work. (through 'Sound Preferences') I can choose on 'Output' the 'Realtek ALC892 (Rear Analog 7.1 Stereo) (the only one that seems to work) I can adjust the volume there, but not from the panel 'Sound' icon. Everytime I get what sound 'Output' that works chosen in the 'Sound Preferences' and close it, it doesn't save what I chose and I have to choose it again when I open it back up. Otherwise, it's not saving what I pick. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the 'Sound' icon on the panel not changing the volume or not. Something is definitely amiss, but I don't know where to look. I haven't seen anything here in the forums that really helps. I also went over to the FreeBSD forums to see what they had posted, and there didn't seem to be anything there that I thought would help. If anyone has had this same issue and was able to resolve it, and it wasn't posted here, would they please reply with some ideas?
Thanks,
