Hello, list. This is only partially related to Csound, but I could really use some help from experienced Arch linux users. I installed Arch recently, with Xfce and Firefox as a web browser. In Firefox sound works fine with YouTube videos and the like, but I get no sound from https://ide.csound.com/. The projects run and I see the messages in the console, but no sound. BTW, I have a similar problem on other web sites, like SoundCloud or SoundSlice (https://www.soundslice.com/slices/MtZcc/). I booted from a Manjaro live CD (based on Arch, I understand), and sound works fine on all those sites. I could ditch Arch and install Manjaro, but I'd prefer to keep it simple and minimalistic. As long as it works, of course... -- ljc |

Probably Pulseaudio or ALSA. Did you look at this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio? On Sun, Nov 15, 2020, 20:20 ljc <ljc@internet.com.uy> wrote: Hello, list. |

Sounds like a dysfunction in the webaudio of your Firefox version. Can you tell me which firefox version you are running. And make another test for me and check if the examples at https://flossmanual.csound.com/ produce audio?

html5 audio and webaudio api are differently treated. I'm on Firefox nightly 84.0a1 on NixOs and csound runs fine with good audio. Could be this Firefox version, I guess you installed Firefox on Gentoo also through pacman? On Mon, 16 Nov 2020 at 16:20, ljc <ljc@internet.com.uy> wrote: el Mon, 16 Nov 2020 10:39:17 +0100 |

So, here's the thing: there's a bug (?) in Firefox with webaudio and ALSA. It seems webaudio only works with pulseaudio. Actually, it's not clear to me if they consider this a "bug", or if they just decided to not support pure ALSA and only support pulseaudio. Which is a monumental PITA. Slowly we've been pushed into this whole pulseaudio/systemd crap. How did this happen? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1624110 -- ljc |

Continuing off-topic, it seems all distros are getting prepared for https://pipewire.org/ to get popular. Wayland is on the way in and X11 on the way out. Perhaps these changes are related to that. But I'm glad this isn't a bug in csound itself :) p.s., chromium and chrome should work fine right?

Do we need to worry about writing a backend for this pipewire thing? Prof. Victor Lazzarini
