Fresh Install - No sound on Firefox

Hi Moltke,
Thanks for replying!

I've played a video using VLC but it has no sound either.. The VLC sound card info keeps flicking on the audio mixer and an error message is displayed (please see attached screenshots).

The idea of using pale moon was to rule out that the problem only affected firefox but now we can see it's system wide, so, first thing to try is to make sure the right sound device is selected. Click on the volume icon in xfce4 panel and select open mixer go to the configuration tab, change the device and play some media to check where there's or not any sound.

As far as Palemoon installation is concerned, I'm a complete ignorant in Linux so, the easiest of the tasks is really complex for me. I've clicked on the palemoon icon (after extracting the compressed file) and I got a popup to select a program to open it with (please see attached screenshots). I have no clue about it!

Sorry, I forgot to mention that in order to run pale moon first you have to right-click on the executable file, in the menu that pops up select properties, a new window opens, go to permissions tab and check the box where it reads execute this file or something like that - my system's in spanish so I'm not sure what the actual words are but it certainly involves the words execute and file -  then double click on the pale moon executable and it should run.

hope this helps!
