No sound (audio) in Chrome Ubuntu 18.04LTS
Ubuntu 18.04LTS, I run the updates, restarted the computer and there is no sound/audio in the Chrome. Sound works in other applciations, system sounds works, in the Settings I can see Chrome as a application - sound is ON and it should work, but it doesn't.
Any ideas? It happend just after system update.
I downloaded PAVUCONTROL, checked settings, chrome was sending audio to HDMI port, changed it, works well now.
Do like in this AskUbuntu question:
Update:
The following seems to prevent the problem from reappearing in the future:
Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa
, find the line that starts with load-module module-stream-restore
and add restore_device=false
at the end, so that the line looks like this:
load-module module-stream-restore restore_device=false
Then do a
killall pulseaudio
and restart chrome... and all is fine.
No other plugins to install or change.
