Solved firefox will not play youtube on speakers, stuck on headphones mode

[Hastur]

I changed to use my headphones and firefox youtube will now only play there.

sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=0

firefox is better for youtube with ublock origin to zap ads

I can't coerce freebsd 14.1 on amd64 to go back to speakers.

Speakers work fine in chrome.

help!

root@drizzle-drizzle:~ # cat /dev/sndstat
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Realtek ALC221 (Analog)> (play/rec) default
pcm1: <Realtek ALC221 (Analog 2.0+HP)> (play)
pcm2: <Intel Skylake (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
No devices installed from userspace.

I tried killing all but 1 tab on firefox

Tried starting sndiod ( was not running b4)

root@drizzle-drizzle:~ # cat /etc/rc.conf
hostname="drizzle-drizzle"
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"
sshd_enable="YES"
zfs_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="YES"
sndiod_enable="YES"
moused_nondefault_enable="NO"
# Set dumpdev to "

root@drizzle-drizzle:~ # service sndiod status
sndiod is running as pid 1150.

any ideas? Hate youtube ads in chrome!

You enabled sndiod in rc.conf.
.
Did you try to set media.cubeb.backend="sndio" in firefox?

not yet
is that in about:config or somewhere else?

 

[Hastur]

ok set that in about:config
I had to type in media.cubeb.backend fully it only filled 5 other things with media.cubeb !
Then I picked string and put sndio!
WORKS NOW
