Anyway, all solutions to automatically build firefox are IMO not worth the effort, since "apulse-git" does the job. If it shouldn't work for the OP, it might be easy to fix. Assuming troubleshooting should be required, I would start with running $ aplay -l | grep "card 0" and $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/*alsa* Regards, Ralf
