If I run mplayer I get sound also. If I use firefox-bin with a java applet that plays sound, I get no sound at all. I can't load this applet in firefox, which is why I still use firefox-bin for it. Googling "no sound in firefox java" gives lots of hits, mainly from people with the same problem. 1 solution was to "modprobe snd-pcm-oss" which did not help. I.m fairly sure this is redundant with base layout 2. I upgraded the kernel twice, from linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r5 where I initially had the problem, to linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r8 and now on linux-2.6.38-gentoo-r6 paying careful attention to all the sound related configuration options. This had no effect. I've run out of things to try, so I'm asking the list. I previously had a problem where the first firefox session would get sound, but no subsequent application, including firefox would have sound, in other words the first invocation of firefox would lock the sound. I could live with that, this current problem is far more annoying.
