Downgrading
to firefox-68.12.0-1.el6.centos.x86_64 makes sound work again. For
now,
I've excluded version firefox-78.3.0-1 from yum updates.
Anyone else seeing this? Any hints?
No problem here .. but as a reminder .. EOL for CentOS-6 is about 1
month away (Nov 2020).
That means , once we hit it, no more updates.
I still have 3 CentOS-6 installations: 1 desktop, 1 laptop, and
1 virtual machine. On all of them, I get no sound from firefox-78.3.0-1
and have to downgrade to firefox-68.12.0-1. I've tried with all
add-ons disabled (Boy, youtube is a pain without adblock.) and
there is still no sound. I don't know what else to try.
I don't know what I'll do after CentOS-6 goes EOL. I absolutely
cannot tolerate CentOS-8.
The Ubuntu-derived distros are much better suited to desktop. I run
several of them, as well as
CentOS 7 and 8. Ubuntu, Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE), Lubuntu, Debian,
PopOS, and Zorin.
