Re: seamonkey linux, distorted sound on certain sites
Some URLs?
Distorted in what way?
Any specific (Linux) sound driver or whatnot being used?
Which Linux are you using?
Which sound system does firefox use on linux?

Nope, both those Chinese links you gave play fine for me. No distortion and both sound synced to the picture.fswl1234 wrote:youtube & most sites work fine, but not wsj & twitter (and a few others i can't recall right now)

I suggest you check the sites with a new profile (just close SM, rename your existing .mozilla folder and start SM again.) and see if there is any change.

Same problem here. Bad browser sniffing on those two pages.
Using SeaMonkey 2.48 (RC), SeaMonkey 2.49.1 and SeaMonkey 2.51 (unOfficial builds by A. Kalla).
As workaround, you should enable Firefox compatibility:
Edit > Preferences > Advanced >> HTTP Networking >> User Agent String -> [x]Advertise Firefox compatibility
Or use an extension to switch the user agent, like PrefBar or User Agent Switcher.
Cheers!

Re: seamonkey linux, distorted sound on certain sites
thanks, that's it
i've seen bad page layout caused by browser sniffing, never thought it would affect (just) sound
general.useragent.site_specific_overrides still works (firefox got rid of it for reason i don't remember)
i tried adding this and sound is nornal now
