CentOS 6
Firefox Browser
Extended Support Release
78.3.0esr (32-bit)
Just a few days ago, YouTube no longer has sound when I play songs. Below the time line for the song being played, the time symbol still reads full volume.
Maybe something happened while I was working on my other problem I entitled "A Sudden Problem That Used to Work!" also in Linux-Software of this forum.

As was said in your other related thread, you are using a VERY old CentOS distro, and all of the aforementioned problems with flash and other things. Until you actually address those issues, don't be surprised if current websites don't work, and current browsers won't display your old code. Not much else anyone can offer.
Current version of Firefox is 83...you are VERY much behind. And the reason the yum-update doesn't work, is because (as said previously) CentOS 6 is no longer supported or updated.
CentOS 6 is fully supported until the end of November, 2020. The sound problem is one that has been experienced by some (not all) CentOS 6 Firefox users. The only solution at this time is to downgrade to firefox-68.12.0-1.
There is reportedly a newer release of Firefox 78 in RHEL 6. It will presumably filter down to CentOS 6 in due time. Whether this affects the sound problem is not yet known.

The OP has said (in another very similar thread), that they already have Firefox 78. Also, they are using CentOS 6 *32 bit*, so presumably this entire system is very old. They are trying to run web pages with flash, and presumably have the flash plug-ins in their browser. Flash is certainly not a tech that's a good thing to use.
Their OS is going EOL in November; they are running on 32 bit hardware; they are using flash. There isn't a single piece of that system I'd keep for anything at this point.
TB0ne, 78.3.0esr is a current (enough) version, ESR branch. I am using 78.4.0esr right now.
billquinn:
Do you have audio on other online videos?
Do you have any audio at all (local files)?
Are you using pulseaduio, or plain ALSA?
Understand it isn't THAT old, but the rest of the OP's system is not. Their other thread specifically says that they're having problems with flash, so the odds are good that things are installed/set up specifically to support flash. Unless they un-install all that, my feeling is their browser is set up to default to the flash player. While they probably can install a plug-in (like turn-off-the-lights) to shoehorn things in...why bother? Not going to address the other issues on the OP's system.
