Firefox audio (from BBC News stream) killed by Audacious
Posted: Thu 23 Jan 2020, 00:19
I have updated to BionicPuppy32 in an Asus eeePC. Full install.
I prefer Firefox72, installed using PPM. (The sfs version does not include an icon for the menu.)
All was well (with lowest quality video) until I added Audacious using PPM.
After that I was unable to get hear stream's audio. (This is not a level control issue. Audacious also deletes the player settings.)
Uninstalling Audacious and all associated dependencies, using PPM, and restarting Firefox gets the audio back.
Audacious and its dependencies no longer shows in PPM. There is no increase in my storage space. To my surprise, Audacious still features in the menu and it still works.
I am very short of space with only a 4GB ssd hdd (and 2GB memory) so storage space is important.
These issues are not related to the device. I have the same result in another netbook.
So, two related questions. What is going on? How can I recover the storage space taken by apps I no longer want and uninstall?
