[15.4] chromium+firefox-esr - sound from youtube.com & elsewhere but not from facebook.com
My sister keeps sending URIs to facebook videos but only video works, not audio. Could it be that with all the following installed, something yet needs to be? Are too many packages installed? Does PA need to be disabled and PW enabled? The mixer pavucontrol says audio is playing, but there's no sound. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Audio_troubleshooting omits string "facebook".

I don't use Facebook at all, but just tried (on Tumbleweed) one - and there was no audio. When I hovered over the video I found there is a volume control, and it is set to 0. Moving it up gave sound for me. Perhaps this is also the case for you.

Sounds like a feature to me :) Even better if the video didn't work either :P
