i wont hear any sound If i browse, for example, to http://101.ru/radio/channel/99 .

my browser is opera 45.0.2552.898
my os is Linux Mint 17 Qiana

If i use firefox 57, i can hear sound with no problem.

Can you hear sound in videos? Trying to determine if it's a missing code which would mean you need to install the chromium codes package or some configuration error. Most likely the codes though.

I've tested with Stable and Dev, no luck.

The reason is that the Opera is out off date. It works nice in Chromium. But there is no development of Opera for 32 bit versions. The last version is 45. There will be no sound in it.

The reason it does not work is because the stream in that page is actually an mp3 file, which opera's libffmpeg.so fails to play (poor html5 support as I always say).

If you can install chromium ffmpeg codecs,, which I am sure you can because mint 17 is based on ubuntu 14.04 and ubuntu 14.04 is still supported, please do

I see. Well, i will use firefox for now. Still its nice to know what was the actual reason of the problem.

P.S. i installed sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg, still no sound

Try installing chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra too.
It seems I am getting too old to remember that ubuntu builds 2 seperate codecs packages from chromium's source

---edit
One more thing. In order to verify what opera supports and what does not, please visit html5test.com and check what codecs are checked under the audio section.

My system says that these codecs are installed and up to date. But they don't work in Opera. I think that this happens because Opera is not the latest version. On the html5test.com page I can see that there is no support for mp3, but Chromium has this support.

FWIW, I tested http://101.ru/radio/channel/99 in Opera 49 64-bit on Windows 10 and the stream doesn't play for me. Well, it plays, but I don't hear any sound except for a blip of the audio now and then. In Opera 51, it plays fine, but it takes a bit to buffer before it plays. In Chrome, it plays fine right away.

Yes! This site doesn't work fine in Windows version of Opera. It looks like Opera has a lot of bugs.

@pindos In 49, yes. It works in 51 (Opera Developer), as there was a fix for this. Not sure about on Linux though.

May be. But the topic starter use 32 bit version of Opera 45. So, there will no be fix for that bug.
