I've checked the autoplay settings, refreshed, re-installed with no joy. All OK in google-chrome. Is there a more obscure setting that might affect audio?

Show the issue. see screenshot I cannot replicate the issue. Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

Hi, I downloaded as you suggested; extracted to the desktop; ran firefox-bin from the folder; changed autoplay setting from 'block audio' (why is that default?) to 'allow audio and video'. Still no sound.
