No audio outputs detected in firefox #26235

Open razzeee opened 1 year ago

razzeee commented 1 year ago

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use firefox
  2. Settings -> Voice & Video

Left side chrome, right side firefox image

Outcome

What did you expect?

Being able to select the output device

What happened instead?

Not being able to select it

This might be an issue on the firefox side of things or maybe they separated incoming and outcoming permissions and element only requests one of those?

Does your firefox have media.setsinkid.enabled in about:config?

razzeee commented 1 year ago

I realized, that it works on element.io after a reload.

I then went into our setup, and removed the permissions I (presumably) set at some point. If I go to that tab again, it requests the permissions a new. If I then allow everything, it seems fine. So I guess there was an old permission blocking asking for newer ones.

I think the question here is, if this was changed, as I think originally, there was no output selection. Maybe it wasn't asked for in the old permission and thus element got confused.

That isn't a thing - you ask for audio &/ video, not input vs output. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/getUserMedia

Feared that would be the case, no idea, how to get back to that broken state then. I've tried to remove the permissions and block them at various points, but no dice.
