To notice the bug, all you have to do is try to watch any video at Youtube or elsewhere, if the video has sound. -- Yves Bellefeuille <yan at storm.ca>
RHEL 6 has the same problem, also firefox 78 on a 64 bit machine.

FF 68 and eveythhing else in CentOS 6 that uses audio, works just fine. This suggests it is possibly a FF 78 problem. Does FF 78 sound work properly in CentOS 7 and 8?

Does anyone know?FF 78 seems to work OK here in a CentOS 8 VM. FF 78 is apparently not offered to CentOS 7. Failed in testing, perhaps?? Latest firefox version for CentOS 7 is 68.0.12.0-1. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
