Hi,
I’m switching from Google Chrome to Mozilla Firefox but I have a problem with Firefox for Fedora (85). Amazon Music Unlimited audio streaming quality is lower compared to the same service played in Google Chrome. Why? My system has ffmpeg and ffmpeg-libs 16-fc33 from rpmfusion-free. Also Firefox for Fedora has Widewine enabled (4.10.1582.2).
I also downloades and tested Firefox Nightly appimage with Widewine enabled (4.10.1582.2): audio quality is very good, the same as Google Chrome.
I think it’s a Firefox for Fedora issue. How can I solve it? Thanks
My only guess would be you are missing some weird audio dependency. Try sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin (if you have both rpmfusions) and see if that fixes it. You could also try the Firefox build from Flathub.
Hi, unfortunately I have all multimedia packages installed.
Firefox from Flathub also has low quality audio with Amazon Music Unlimited. That’s very stange! I also tried Firefox 86 beta 3 appimage form https://github.com/srevinsaju/Firefox-Appimage: audio quality is as good as Google Chrome and Firefox nightly.
initially:
Firefox 95.0.2 (Fedora rpm): bad audio
Firefox 95.0.2 (Firefox flatpak): good audio
After installation of rpmfusion (as per official documentation including multimedia, e.g. ffmpeg-libs) → good audio also with the Fedora rpm version of Firefox.
