@AryanRai I know this is late, but did you find a fix?

[AryanRai]

Unfortunately no...

Hey guys! I was having the same issue but I found a workaround

I wrote a script named chrm which only contains the instructions to run the image after creating the volume (AKA)

sudo docker pull hthiemann/docker-chromium-armhf
sudo docker run --rm --privileged
-e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY
-v chromium_home:/home
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix
-v /dev:/dev -v /run:/run
-v /etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id
--ipc=host
--device /dev/dri
--group-add video
hthiemann/docker-chromium-armhf

and then gave that same script executing privileges

sudo install -m 755 chrm /usr/local/bin

and then just

sudo chrm

And now I have sound! I hope this helps

[AryanRai]

thanks ill try this and get back

How did It go?

[pranavr2003]

@edlingao Mate I tried your script (except I pasted directly in terminal instead of creating a file for it)

root@spurs-desktop:/home/spurs/docker-chromium-armhf# sudo docker pull hthiemann/docker-chromium-armhf
sudo docker run --rm --privileged
-e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY
-v chromium_home:/home
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix
-v /dev:/dev -v /run:/run
-v /etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id
--ipc=host
--device /dev/dri
--group-add video
hthiemann/docker-chromium-armhf

This is what I'm getting

@pranavr2003 try deleting all the line jumps
That or creating the .sh file xD, it's going to be better as you'll need to run that command every time you try to open this chromium-browser

Hello, so I have audio but not over bluetooth, even though the rest of my system sound can be heard on my bluetooth speaker (e.g. sound from youtube or radio on the regular firefox). Any idea on how to fix this please?

[pranavr2003]

@JospehCeh Maybe you can check your audio output settings from the terminal? Check your available audio outputs and put that number in with nano. I don't remember the file you have to edit off the bat, but you can Google that. I've tweaked with it before, should work.

As for Firefox, Firefox doesn't really give sound on the Pi. This is a known issue that happened when the Pi devs switched Rpi-OS switched to PulseAudio. There is a workaround though, that I had discovered only recently. Install the extension 'User Agent Switcher', and switch to any agent you like and test if audio is coming out of it. For YouTube, I've found iPhone/Safari to be the best. Note that you can switch agents specific to domains, and not have to switch them everytime you wat to. Just set it default for that domain.

As for your general query, this isn't the best place to ask, really. This is a Chromium implementation on Docker that has nothing to do with Firefox. Please find other forums (forums.raspberrypi.org or the Firefox forum) for this.
