I do not say 'works fine' because I have to restart pulseaudio and FF after plug-in an USB headset to get it recognized as /dev/dsp2. After plugin I have: $ cat /dev/sndstat Installed devices: pcm0: <Intel Haswell (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play) pcm1: <Realtek ALC283 (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> (play/rec) pcm2: <USB audio> (play/rec) default No devices installed from userspace. $ ls -C1 /dev/dsp* /dev/dsp0.1 /dev/dsp1.0 /dev/dsp1.1 /dev/dsp1.2 /dev/dsp1.3 /dev/dsp1.4 /dev/dsp2.0 <**** USB headset Do you know if the above problem (restart of ....) could be solved? Do you have any special 'about:config' for FF with pulseaudio? I found this echo test page https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/echotest.html extremely useful when trying to solve sound (and video) problems in FF.
