The browser is set to 'Run using Rosetta,' which will cause the computer to be identified incorrectly as a PowerPC-based Mac If the browser is set to run in the Rosetta engine, it will incorrectly identify the computer as a PowerPC-based Mac, or the Web site will not recognize that the appropriate plug-in is installed. Currently running on Mac OSX Lion 10.7.2. Safari 5.1.2 (Test with 32 bit mode also) Tried installed the latest Silverlight 5 runtime too but same problem. Any solution to this problem here? It is practically rendering my Silverlight Businesss application worthless on the MAC right now. However, when I'm capturing audio on my test Macintosh, and I tap on the webcam, I get samples in the +/- 100 range. If I record anything on the Mac's webcam microphone and then play it back, I effectively can't hear anything at all. (I'm using an MS Lifecam HD-5000, if that makes any difference.). Microsoft Silverlight will reach the end of support on October 12, 2021. Silverlight development framework is currently only supported on Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11, with support for Internet Explorer 10 ending on January 31, 2020. There is no longer support for Chrome, Firefox, or any browser using the Mac operating system.

Web plug-ins phasing out

The commercial media industry is undergoing a major transition as content providers move away from proprietaryweb plug-in based delivery mechanisms (such as Flash or Silverlight), and replace them with unified plug-in freevideo players that are based on HTML5 specifications and commercial media encoding capabilities. Browsers aremoving away from plug-ins as well, as Microsoft Edge is with ActiveX, and toward more secure extension models.

The transition to plug-in free media has been enabled through the recent development of new specifications:

From W3C: Media Source Extensions for adaptive streaming and Encrypted Media Extensions for content protection.
From the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG): DASH and Common Encryption (CENC).

These specifications were designed and developed to enable interoperable streaming to a variety of media platformsand devices. By focusing on interoperable solutions, content providers are able to reduce costs and at the sametime users are able to access the content they want on the device they prefer using the application or web browser of theirchoice. Microsoft believes that this is a huge benefit to both content producers and consumers, and is committedto supporting companies that make this transition.

With these changes in mind, support for ActiveX has been discontinued in Microsoft Edge, and that includes removingsupport for Silverlight. Microsoft continues to support Silverlight, and Silverlight out-of-browser applications can continue to use it. Silverlight will also continue to be supported in Internet Explorer 11, so sites continue to haveSilverlight options in Windows 10. At the same time, Microsoft encourages companies that are using Silverlight formedia to begin the transition to DASH/MSE/CENC/EME based designs and to follow a single encoding work flow enabledby CENC. This represents the most broadly interoperable solution across browsers, platforms, content,and devices going forward.

Continue to run your Silverlight applications

Given the growing restrictions to run Silverlight applications in modern browsers, users may find it difficult to use Silverlight in-browser applications.One way to continue offering an existing Silverlight application on Windows 7 and MacOS to users is to turn it into a Silverlight out-of-browser application, installed with a standalone installer (installer.exe). To do this:

Change the application configuration to Out-Of-Browser.
Develop a standalone installer to help users get through the hurdle of installing the application on supported browsers and browser versions.
