Hello,
I’m fairly new to Nix & NixOS. I’m running NixOS 21.05 with recently updated packages (this week).
I’m getting no audio output from vivaldi (a chromium-based web browser).
YouTube videos play successfully, and the tab shows the speaker icon indicating that it’s making sound
but pavucontrol shows no playback
Firefox works fine out of the box.
I have seen several issues / discussions mentioning WideVine and proprietary codecs:
- Unable to play media in browser in fresh NixOS 20.03 installation - #8 by stianlagstad
- Vivaldi widevine outdated and/or broken · Issue #82469 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
- Vivaldi widevine outdated and/or broken · Issue #82469 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
- Vivaldi browser (chromium) unable to use pepperFlash and widevine plugins · Issue #45947 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
However, I have enabled both of these options, and still have no audio playback in Vivaldi:
vivaldi.override {
proprietaryCodecs = true;
enableWidevine = true;
}
If anyone has any idea what the issue is or how to further debug, I would be very grateful.
Thanks!
Oliver
