Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1338

I was using "firejail firefox" on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS and whenever I will play a multimedia (e.g. YouTube) in the browser, it will cause pulseaudio module to unload itself. This is the pulseaudio log generated on my system, I don't know if it will be useful in anyway: pulseaudio log

Hi @ajyotirmay,
That sounds like a known problem with pulseaudio. Could you run the following in your terminal, log out and back in, and try again?
firecfg --fix-sound

@netblue30 thanks, toggling "enable-shm" seems to be working fine.
@Fred-Barclay "firecfg --fix-sound" didn't work as "firecfg" was not found on my system.

Looks like the problem was with pulseaudio and not firejail, sorry to bother you guys. I'll be closing this issue, thanks for the help :)
