I just tried Chromium 73 & sound works fine, So, whenever Slimjet gets up to that version, we should be good. Fingers crossed. :lol:
yes, chromium 32bit works but, to me, it's no where near as fast as slimjet.
Oh, I agree. I love Slimjet, but not so much without sound. I've been using Firefox for sound, then extensions got broken there (just fixed). Always something. :roll:

Hi sleeper10,

I had the same problem with version 22.0.4.0 32 bit, anyway previous version 21.0.8.0 is working well with sound. Latest 22.0.4.0 is quite buggy and I hope developers will release a new version soon as Chromium stable was released on 04/30/19 :roll: ...and possibly considering bug reports by users here in the forum :cry: ...

I heard from Slimjet support. As I expected, there is no easy fix for this. Just have to wait until Slimjet updates to Chromium 73 & hope for the best. I think sound will work then, but we shall see.

Just heard new Slimjet might be out in 1-2 weeks (Chromium 74?). Let's hope that solves it for us.

to late. i already removed slimjet from my machines. what's the sense of having a browser that won't play sound? taking WAY to long to fix this, so good bye slimjet. switched to vivaldi for when i want to use a chrome based browser.

should add that only removed from my 2 older 32bit machines. still have it on my 6, 64bit machines though. :)

There simply is no libffmpeg.so available that works on 32 bit, version 72 Chromium. So, I'd blame Chrome/Chromium for dropping the ball on this. For some odd reason, they skipped 32 bit this time. Hope it's just this time, we'll see. :?

Hi there,
try this: https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg- ... t/releases
It worked for me!
However it's true: Slimjet has become buggy in Linux (working well in Windows indeed!!!) compelling me to search lots of workarounds every new version. That's why I'm trying latest Chromium with some extensions...

I tried 0.38.1 & 0.37.4 there, Slimjet won't even open for me with those. :( I just installed latest Slimjet version 23.0.3.0, still no sound. Looks like no fix for this. :cry:

23.0.4.0, still no sound. You ain't gonna believe this but Slimjet started doing sign language instead of sound! :D :D :D

Since sound works in Chromium 74+, I took the libffmpeg.so from there & tried it in Slimjet. Still no sound, very strange. The instructions here don't give sound either. :x :
