Originally created by @360asm on GitHub (Apr 20, 2017).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1237
Same conditions as:
https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1175
Firefox is latest 53.0. Problem has existed since compulsory use of pulseaudio in Firefox 52.0.
Have rechecked both workarounds at:
https://firejail.wordpress.com/support/known-problems/#pulseaudio
with no success.
Kernel is:
Linux localhost 4.10.9-pclos1 #1 SMP Sat Apr 8 14:46:39 CDT 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Debug provides no mention of sound issues even when the 'Install pulseaudio' message bar comes up when accessing any sound application from inside Firefox.
Is there any other info I can provide?
@netblue30 commented on GitHub (Apr 20, 2017):
I'll give it a try.

I downloaded the latest firefox (version 53) from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/. I installed it under /opt:
On my Debian stable the sound in firefox doesn't work with or without firejail. The system is setup for ALSA, there is no PulseAudio installed. This is to be expected, since firefox removed ALSA support in version 52.
On a Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 with PulseAudio 10.0 the sound works fine for firefox version 53 under firejail.
Try the version distributed by Mozilla (link above), just in case there is something wrong with the build from your distro. Unpack the archive under /opt or somewhere else outside your home directory.
Also, you might consider moving to firejail 0.9.46~rc1 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/firejail/files/firejail/), there are quite a number of other fixes.

Hi,
Not sure if you wanted me to reply to the Github thread or direct, so replied direct as you didn't put your reply on the thread. Can move this to the thread if you prefer.
Followed your advice and checking the process tree in firejail tools I get:1291:david:firejail --debug /opt/firefox/firefox
1293:david:firejail --debug /opt/firefox/firefox
1299:david:/opt/firefox/firefox
so I guess I am using the version I just unpacked to /opt. Still have the same issue with Firefox displaying the pulseaudio warning on youtube.
Do I need to remove firefox from Synaptic as well? Any other software I need to check?

$ sudo tar -xjvf /home/netblue/firefox-53.0.tar.bz2

I downloaded, compiled and installed firejail 0.9.46rc1 and the process tree is now:
22921:david:/opt/firejail-0.9.46rc1/bin/firejail --debug /opt/firefox/firefox
22923:david:/opt/firejail-0.9.46rc1/bin/firejail --debug /opt/firefox/firefox
22933:david:/opt/firefox/firefox
so I am definitely running the firefox and firejail you suggested, but am still getting the pulseaudio message and no sound.
BTW if the directory name has a tilde before the rc1 like this firejail 0.9.46
rc1 then all the text between the first and second instance of the tilde in the directory name is printed as struckout with the tildes not printing like this: firejail 0.9.46rc1@360asm commented on GitHub (Apr 25, 2017):
Firejail and firetools updated in PCLinuxOS repo. Firejail now 0.9.44.10. Firetools now 0.9.46.
I have re-verified both fixes in the .conf files with firefox 53 from the PCLinuxOS repo and the version 53 I downloaded direct from Mozilla as suggested.
The failure with pulseaudio is still a hard bug. Is there anything else I can try or provide for analysis?
@360asm commented on GitHub (Apr 25, 2017):
Also, the failure to work with pulseaudio leaves no messages in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages.
@netblue30 commented on GitHub (Apr 26, 2017):
I started downloading PCLinuxOS Mate version - I assume it is the same problem on both Mate and KDE.
@360asm commented on GitHub (Apr 26, 2017):
Unfortunately can not confirm whether it is present under MATE, only KDE
@360asm commented on GitHub (Apr 28, 2017):
Not a stupid question. No, I do not have any apparmor profiles on my system. aa-status comes up as command not found.
Also, the issue I meant to reference in the first post was:No sound using pulseaudio after 0.9.44.6 update · Issue #1054 · netblue30/firejail

I have just downloaded, compiled and tested 0.9.44.4 and I have no sound with that version either. That is with PulseAudio 10.0.
It is probably a stupid question, but only to be sure there is no misunderstanding: Is your Firefox also constrained by Apparmor, like in #1175?
That is, did you write apparmor into your Firejail profile or does running aa-status as superuser show an enforced Firefox profile?—

@360asm - grab the latest 0.9.44.10, 0.9.44.6 was badly broken.
Got PCLinuxOS installed. I couldn't get the sound working even when running programs without firejail - for example vlc or firefox. I start Application/Sound/PulseAudio Volume Control, and I can see the meter moving for vlc and firefox streams, but nothing goes out on the speaker.
There is definitely a sound problem with firejail 0.9.46~rc1 and also with the version in git, I'll bring a fix in. 0.9.44.10 should be fine if I manage to get sound stream past PulseAudio Volume Control.
