meet.google.com - Unable to select non-default devices for audio output

[oddanderson]

URL: https://meet.google.com

Browser / Version: Firefox 124.0
Operating System: Windows 10
Tested Another Browser: Yes Chrome

Problem type: Video or audio doesn't play
Description: Media controls are broken or missing
Steps to Reproduce:
Meet.google doesn't let you select non-default devices for audio output. On chrome, I am able to set up my browser to default play through one device, but meet.google players through a separate device. On firefox, it will only allow me to select the system default audio device as audio output.

I have also verified that the setsinkid.enabled = TRUE (although I also tested it set to False)

Browser Configuration

• None

Thank you for reporting this issue, I was able to reproduce it. On Firefox Release and Nightly the audio output list does not display non-default speakers. This does not reproduce on Chrome.

Tested on:
• Browser / Version: Firefox Nightly 126.0a1 (2024-03-31) / Firefox Release 124.0.1 / Chrome 123.0.6312.86
• Operating System: Windows 10

Notes:

1. Reproducible on both Firefox Release and Nightly
2. Not reproducible on Chrome.
3. Reproducible regardless of settings of Enhanced Tracking Protection

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enter a Google Meet call while having alternative audio output devices connected to your laptop.
2. Click on the arrow next to the speaker icon.
3. Observe the audio output options.
