Tor Browser Audio

What version of Parrot are you running?
version 4.6, edition KDE

What method did you use to install Parrot?
Debian Standard

Configured to multiboot with other systems?
no

The audio works with other applications like firefox and VLC, however it is not working with tor. I installed the PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol) and the other applications appear in the Playback tab, but tor does not. What do I need to do to have tor send it audio to PulseAudio?

So that link didn’t help solve my problem with the ParrotOS. I’m still in the same boat as the person in comment 9.

The files

${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.esd_auth
${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse-cookie
${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse/*

don’t exist whether the torbrowser is running ot not. And

~/.esd_auth
~/.pulse-cookie
~/.pulse

don’t exist either.

I see that the pulse cookie is now ~/.config/pulse/cookie but every symlink I tried is not working.

I tried linking just the cookie in a few ways

ln -s ~/.config/pulse/cookie ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse-cookie
ln -s ~/.config/pulse/cookie ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/pulse-cookie
ln -s ~/.config/pulse/cookie ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse/cookie
ln -s ~/.config/pulse/cookie ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse/.cookie
ln -s ~/.config/pulse/cookie ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse/pulse-cookie
ln -s ~/.config/pulse/cookie ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse/.pulse-cookie
ln -s ~/.config/pulse/cookie ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/pulse-cookie
ln -s ~/.config/pulse/cookie ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/pulse/cookie
ln -s ~/.config/pulse/cookie ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/pulse/.cookie
ln -s ~/.config/pulse/cookie ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/pulse/pulse-cookie

As well as linking the entire pulse dir

ln -s ~/.config/pulse/ ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/pulse/
ln -s ~/.config/pulse/ ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse/

Then I just copied the directory over with

cp -pr ~/.config/pulse/ ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/pulse/
and then
cp -pr ~/.config/pulse/ ${INSTALLDIR}/Browser/.pulse/

I did this at first in ~/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US/Browser but when nothing worked I tried it in ~/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser but that didn’t work either.

I do not really know what else to do so tor can interactive with pulse.
