Google Chrome: sound out: nothing audible
Closed this issue · 3 comments
I get video playback at pages such as https://www.itv.com/hub/itv (sign in required) and https://www.ted.com/talks/james_geary_metaphorically_speaking but no sound.
audio/virtual_oss in use, if that's relevant. From my rc.conf
:
virtual_oss_enable="YES"
virtual_oss_default_args="\
-T /dev/sndstat \
-S \
-i 8 \
-C 2 -c 2 \
-r 48000 \
-b 24 \
-s 8.0ms \
-f /dev/dsp1 \
-c 2 \
-d dsp \
-t vdsp.ctl"
sndiod_enable="YES"

Now I see, https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/linuxulator-how-to-run-google-chrome-linux-binary-on-freebsd.77559/post-484339 and https://github.com/mrclksr/linux-browser-installer/blob/e0ff669e84fa98e7200497367cf961de5f2a3417/bin/chrome.in – which, incidentally, explains why /usr/local/bin/chrome
no longer runs Chromium for me; I'm not quite ready to abandon Chromium :-)
Hi @grahamperrin ,
does the sound work with the wrapper?
which, incidentally, explains why /usr/local/bin/chrome no longer runs Chromium for me; I'm not quite ready to abandon Chromium :-)
Sorry about that :-). I've changed the names, so that the wrapper and desktop files now have the prefix linux-.
As root, this morning:
pkg remove chromium && pkg install chromium
cd /usr/home/grahamperrin/Downloads/linux-browser-installer/
git pull
./linux-browser-installer deinstall chrome && ./linux-browser-installer install chrome
– after which, as grahamperrin, the Ted Talk content was audible first in Google Chrome, then in Chromium:
/compat/ubuntu/bin/chrome https://www.ted.com/talks/james_geary_metaphorically_speaking ; chrome https://www.ted.com/talks/james_geary_metaphorically_speaking
Also audible, ITV Hub content:
/compat/ubuntu/bin/chrome https://www.itv.com/hub/itv
Bonus
Re: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/linuxulator-how-to-run-google-chrome-linux-binary-on-freebsd.77559/post-485731, Open With now works as expected.
