No sound in Tor-Browser only
by rarog from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TQHZ)
Hi,
I'm struggling with following problem, despite Pulseaudio being installed and active I don't have audio in Tor-browser and only in Tor-browser.
In Firefox mainline release (70.0.1) sound is working, also in firefox 68.2.0 ESR (which current Tor is based on) sound is working.
I have active and installed pulseaudio 13.0 provided with distro.

1.change Code:autospawn=no in /etc/pulse/client.conf and killing and running Code:pulseaudio -vvvvv shows nothing specific. It's like it didn't even tried to access pulseaudio.
2.I thought this may be related to higher level of Tor(firefox) sandbox security level, so I've switched:
security.sandbox.content.level -> 0
security.sandbox.content.write_path_whitelist -> "/dev/snd/"
Aand it Didn't change anything.
3. /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc don't exist. On default content of "asound.conf", problem was the same.
4.I've tried different versions of Tor-browser ( alpha and some archive versions), problem still occurred.
I've run out of ideas. Any help will be appreciated.
