Add-on's notification sound is muted en (fedia.io)

i dont think the built-in notification system has sounds. The system only has sound because the system might be configured to output sound on notifications … Not sure, just what i think might be the issue.

The add-on itself has sound for its notification. It works well for me on Chrome. It doesn't work on Firefox, hence my post.

Hoho … here i go … debugging again … Let’s see …

1. The promodoro clock seems to create an audio element inside its background script, that it uses to output the sound. - pretty standard.
2. And i am not aware of any way to specifically block the audio output of a single addon , via permissions or settings.

So my suggetion would be:

Install an addon that outputs sounds the same way. For example: addons.mozilla.org/…/notify-on-download-events/ and check if audio can be played back with that.

Come back with your results and we continue from there.

I installed your addon and the audio can't be played, no sound at all. I think it might be one of those about:config changes I made so here the list.

I think i found the issue. Try setting media.autoplay.blocking_policy to 0
