Remove Pulse.

As Semme says.

Make sure to remove PulseAudio.
Reboot.
Before installing the pet.

Do Not Have PulseAudio Installed.

If both are installed.
Uninstall both.
Reboot.
Install only OscarTalks pet.

If this is what you have done, than tell us?

Precise 5.7.1
Success! Started a newsavefile, installed the latest Firefox, downladed and installed http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/apulse-0.1.8-i686-wz.pet
Now have youtube with sound.
Thanks guys

Have just noticed. While I have sound and video, I can no longer comment on youtube. JOFTAA

Is this with or without Flash installed?

A note on browsers that use Firefox code:

Seamonkey 2.49a1 (nightly) is the first version that doesn't have audio,
and it corresponds to Firefox 50. The apulse pet fixes the issue as
expected.

Browsers such as cyberfox will also most probably lack audio after
updating, and they should respond to the apulse solution.

I know this is to get Firefox working but Firefox seems to need more work than the recent Palemoon version. Lately im using sites with JW-player(for movie sites) , flash-players(youtube), and adobe-flash(even Spotify-web) all are working well. What took the cake for me, was getting Firefox to even notice the adobe flash install, i finally got it working in Palemoon(27.2.0-32bit) and moved on! Palemoon comes with some Puppies, and its almost just like Firefox, isn't it? thanks..

It's similar >> "What are the differences with Firefox?"

Thanks! I think the getflash-1.6.1.pet fixed some browser issues for me. I have more space for all my libs and dependency tweaking without Firefox now, but isn't their a fix for pulse audio in the new Firefox52? try newest flash install.

oops! Thanks Semme! As you can tell, im new to quoting..Also learning how to talk on forums, besides gaming forums..
This is what link I was thinking of pertaining to Pulse audio!

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.c ... id=1345661

You only need to quote when it's relevant, and then, selectively.

Interestingly, I've just tried out FF52 in Tahr 6.05 (32-bit).....and have sound straight away in FireFox, without needing to install Oscar's 'aPulse' .pet.

Mind you, this could be because I already have the PulseAudio sound server installed in Tahr, as part of watchdog's 'workaround' for getting video-calling working in Skype..... That's why I've tried FF52 in Tahr; to see if it would work straight away.....even though I'm not an FF user in general.

Curiosity killed the cat, so they say.....

Still can't persuade NetFlix to work, though. It works OOTB in 64-bit FF52......

Weird. And that's despite using my own documented 'workaround' from here:-

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=108334

And having said that, I now find that as of Wednesday this week, you no longer even need to spoof the user-agent in Linux for FF. NetFlix just works.....because they've finally added Linux support for FireFox.

Update: Installed the latest Flash from Adobe website. Can now write comments in youtube

As a carry-over from my previous post, I've just installed FF52 in Precise 571, along with Oscar's aPulse .pet.....and everything's behaving itself. Even NetFlix, would you believe!

From what I understand, NetFlix are supposed to have made a few changes at some point last week, which means that all you need to do for watching stuff in 32-bit FF is to enable DRM in Preferences->'Content' (and install aPulse for the sound.)

I'm still using the agent-switcher, though. Doesn't appear to be having any adverse effects....

So there we are. NetFlix in 32-bit FF52 at long last..!

Just revisited this and on the latest Tahrpup/Fx52.2 this was the fix.
Many thanks Semme and OscarTalks for the pet .. http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/apulse-0.1.8-i686-wz.pet
Marked my other thread Solved

Thx all. Mike, Now you have me curious to go try netflix again. I remember trying it out for the kids to use in ubuntu 16.10, not long ago, but the firefox browser didn't support it at that time.

Works in xenial 7.0.6 with 4.9.13 kernel that I made with woof-CE.
I now have sound in my Firefox again!
Thank You ever so much.

BTW: The PPM shows that Pulse Audio is installed but I could not find it anywhere.

Look in ~/.packages.

The pet is not installing Pulse Audio.
It is just installing the needed, Pulse Audio file, to make Firefox work.

This conflicts with the Pulseaudio in RU Xerus. I can either get Firefox sound or Dolphin sound (without Apulse) but not both.....

Tried to mix and match the lib files without success, as well.
