No sound playing at all

Unread post by Goodydino » 2022-01-18, 22:36

What setting would cause the failure of all sound to play in the browser? I tried safe mode, which did not help, so the only other thing which could be causing the problem would be a setting, right? I tested various video and audio files online, and get no sound from any of them.

Is this for Pale Moon or for White Star?

Could be an audio driver that became corrupted. I've had that happen to me once before.

You do not specify your OS (whether Linux or Windows) and whether audio works for other local applications. Under Linux it took me a while once to detect that the volume was simply by default set too low (try alsamixer or pavucontrol).

I have 5 browsers. The other 4 are fine with multimedia. I cannot see that a system volume setting would single out one browser.
I actually have White Star, but the settings are the same as for Pale Moon. Previous versions of White Star did not have this problem.

You should ask the White Star dev or fellow users of it, which you won't be finding on this forum. It's clearly got to be something specific with White Star which we don't know anything about.

It's a browser for macOS made when Pale Moon stopped supporting it.

And it is irrelevant to this forum, so people using that should use whatever support its author provides instead of coming here. Same goes for the weirdos still browsing the modern web on Windows XP using whatever unauthorized Pale Moon builds exist for it.
