Hello. After switching from ALSA over to SNDIO option on firefox-esr 45.6.0, volume control stopped working on HTML 5 video player and on youtube video player. I can still hear the sound but can't make it louder/quieter or switch it off anymore. $ uname -r 11.0-STABLE Regards, Sergey.
I've noticed also that when I pause the player and then resume, videocontent freezes until I drag the handle a bit, then video content resumes; meanwhile sound continues playing.
Hi Sergey, please check that sndiod is running. See the pkg-message of audio/sndio: sysrc sndiod_enable=YES service sndiod start When the daemon is not running you get no volume control in applications.
Hi Tobias, I've done as you proposed, but now when sndiod is running video content has stopped playing. When I press pause/resume button the image is twitching. When I stop sndiod I can see the video content playing but symptoms are as depicted above. Here are the options for the sndiod daemon: /usr/local/bin/sndiod -f rsnd/0 -c 0:7 -j off -s default -m mon -s monitor Regards, Sergey.
(In reply to Sergey from comment #3) Believe it or not that sounds like progress :). I don't think this is a Firefox issue. Is /dev/dsp0 (rsnd/0) a playback only device? What's the content of /dev/sndstat? If it is, try adding `-m play` to sndiod_flags i.e. set sndiod_flags="-m play -f rsnd/0 -c 0:7 -j off -s default -m mon -s monitor" in /etc/rc.conf.
(In reply to Tobias Kortkamp from comment #4) Hi Tobias, you are right, sound volume control works now pretty well! Here is the /dev/dsp0 device. Not sure if it's a playback only device # ll /dev/dsp0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0x86 Jan 12 19:44 /dev/dsp0 # cat /dev/sndstat Installed devices: pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> (play/rec) default No devices installed from userspace. Thoght I still see the issue which is told about in Comment 1. When I pause the video clip and then resume afterwards sound starts to play but video freezes for some time and then resumes with some delay. Dragging the handle makes sound and video synchronous. (( ALSA libs haven't rendered such an effect. Haven't you noticed the same effect with SNDIO? Best Regards, Sergey P.
Created attachment 178800 [details] firefox-esr.diff (In reply to Sergey from comment #5) > Haven't you noticed the same effect with SNDIO? I was able to reproduce this with firefox-esr now. The problem only appears when using a local sndio server, which I haven't tried before. Sndio support in firefox-esr has bugs and I've tried to backport some changes from www/firefox. Please try applying the attached patch to your ports tree and recompile www/firefox-esr. I've not tested it much, but it appears to fix the problem. For the record: www/firefox and www/seamonkey do not have this issue.
(In reply to Tobias Kortkamp from comment #6) WOW Tobias! A magician you are! You've fixed all the issues I had with Firefox-esr! Splendid work, let me thank you very much ) As for native Firefox, unfortunately I can't us it for the reason I've explained here: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215879 At first I thought that was because of Greasemonky plugin together with viewtube script wich I use for high speed viewing and other bell and whistles but removing them didn't solve the issue. Though I have to say that I experimented only with alsa, sndio wasn't there at that moment yet. How do you think, will it work with sndio better that alsa does? Regards
Sergey, can you reopen this please? IMO this should be committed to the ports tree. I can't do this, so we have to hope that a committer does this for us. But it's unlikely to happen when this bug is closed. The current ESR version will be with us for a while longer and you can't be the only person to eventually run into this.
(In reply to Tobias Kortkamp from comment #8) Ok no problem
Comment on attachment 178800 [details] firefox-esr.diff Can you split into files/patch-bugNNN chunks for easy lookup on bugzilla.mozilla.org for more details or, at least, in which release landed? For example, files/patch-bug1153179 if you only intend to backport the specific one. > -sndio_get_min_latency(cubeb * ctx, cubeb_stream_params params, uint32_t * latency_ms) > +sndio_get_min_latency(cubeb * ctx, cubeb_stream_params params, uint32_t * latency_frames) > { > // XXX Not yet implemented. > - *latency_ms = 40; > + *latency_frames = 2048; libcubeb only changed how latency is calculated in Firefox 50[1]. Do you really need it on 45.x ? If so adjust sio_par.appbufsz like upstream did. Maybe you want sndio fix[2] from Firefox 48 instead.

Do you really need it on 45.x ? No, that shouldn't be in there. Fixes for bug 1153151 and 1153179 were committed at the same time [1], I think both are needed to fix the problem here. Just 1153151 isn't enough. > Can you split into files/patch-bugNNN chunks for easy lookup on bugzilla.mozilla.org for more details Done. [1] https://github.com/kinetiknz/cubeb/pull/79
