This might seem weird, but the firefox browser blocks the use of chillhop music being played.

#

It won't play music.

tacit sluice Apr 2, 2026, 10:46 AM

What's the url?

It plays the music fine in firefox for me

lime yarrow Apr 2, 2026, 11:32 AM

#

For me, it's not.

tacit sluice Apr 2, 2026, 11:33 AM

#

Does it play sounds on other sites in firefox for you?

lime yarrow Apr 2, 2026, 11:33 AM

#

yeah

#

like, i just played music on youtube, spotify, etc.

#

But not chillhop.

tacit sluice Apr 2, 2026, 11:35 AM

#

Does it play the music in incognito / private window?

lime yarrow Apr 2, 2026, 11:37 AM

#

tacit sluice Does it play the music in incognito / private window?

#

tacit sluice Apr 2, 2026, 11:39 AM

#

Does it play in other browsers?

lime yarrow Apr 2, 2026, 11:59 AM

#

#

I think so, i'm not sure.

tacit sluice Apr 2, 2026, 12:08 PM

#

Can you check?

lime yarrow Apr 2, 2026, 12:10 PM

#

What you want me to do tho?

tacit sluice Apr 2, 2026, 12:12 PM

#

Open the site in the browser other than firefox and see if the sound is playing

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 12:49 PM

#

@lime yarrow Did you disabled the sound accidentally on the tab?

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:08 PM

#

no

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:11 PM

#

lime yarrow no

Check it, because you usually missclicked on the tab

#

@lime yarrow Did you forgot to just press the play button?

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:12 PM

#

nope.

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:14 PM

#

Then why the heck won't it play?

#

Nevermind, I think I get why

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:14 PM

#

that's the thing, i don't know.

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:14 PM

#

lime yarrow that's the thing, i don't know.

You are deaf, right?

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:14 PM

#

nope, hard of hearing.

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:14 PM

#

Got it

#

Can you hear the same style of music as chillhop?

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:15 PM

#

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:16 PM

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:25 PM

Try clearing cache or the cookies of the website or anything

#

Either it's your ISP, or its experiencing high traffic on your side

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:26 PM

#

cleared the cachy and browsing/download history.

#

Still no music.

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:27 PM

#

neon nebula Either it's your ISP, or its experiencing high traffic on your side

.

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:27 PM

#

that's the thing it's not.

#

i don't think it's high traffic.

#

not all devices are online.

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:27 PM

#

lime yarrow that's the thing it's not.

Then ask yourself, "Why did everyone else worked and not me?"

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:28 PM

#

firefox has tracking protection..

#

it's prob that?

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:28 PM

#

No, mine is on

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:28 PM

#

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:28 PM

#

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:29 PM

#

i can hear that just fine.

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:30 PM

#

Because it's either a browser setting issue, or something inside media playback of the website with certain hardware acceleration

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:30 PM

#

but the page is not

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:30 PM

#

lime yarrow but the page is not

What is your hardware?

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:30 PM

#

all new ish

#

what you need again?

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:31 PM

#

What hardware are you on?

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:31 PM

#

check #1488329174426062938 for the premade, but i had the graphics card and RAM changed.

#

32 GB DDR5 RAM, 2 sticks.

#

And RTX 5060 TI

#

swapped out from the 3k RTX

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:32 PM

#

sudo apt install firmware-sof-signed ubuntu-restricted-extras

#

Then restart after installing

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:32 PM

#

unable to locate.

#

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:33 PM

#

I forgot the c on "restricted"

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:33 PM

#

lol

#

it booted now.

#

package conifgure?

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:34 PM

#

restart later after installing, and remember to press tab on and select ms fonts and yes

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:35 PM

#

it should be on now i think

#

#

so uh

#

full shutdown then open?

#

hold on

#

ok

#

um even after all that,

#

um it still won't do it. @neon nebula

#

no audio

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:41 PM

#

Now I am not sure what to do anymore, just use the damn youtube channel of chillhop

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:41 PM

#

so uh..

#

you want to talk to the chillhop page team?

#

see if they can fix it?

#

it didn't break on windows.

#

so.. idk

neon nebula Apr 3, 2026, 1:45 PM

#

lime yarrow so.. idk

Like I said, probably codec or hardware acceleration

lime yarrow Apr 3, 2026, 1:47 PM

#

there's no hardware accleration as far i know

#

you want me to find that?

#

cause i know netflix has hardware accelration blocking

#

and yet, i don't see the netflix screensharing blocked.

#

Here's a scene from wensday on netflix, which if blacked out, hardware accleration would been on.
