I have sound using opera and firefox. The flashplayer is enabled, but when I wanna play youtube videos or videos posted on youtube, google chrome is silent. Why is this?

Might be the flash player:enter image description here

UPDATE: I was wrong...chromium wont work either...so, that cant be an alternative solution either.

Shall I just use this command: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer and disable the pepperflash of google chrome? Would that be a way to solve this?

  • When playing a video check in Sound Settings > Applications tab if Chrome is not muted ? – hg8 Sep 07 '15 at 08:51
  • @hg8 of course it is not muted.:) – Elysium Sep 07 '15 at 08:54
  • Haha starting from the beginning just to be sure sorry :) – hg8 Sep 07 '15 at 08:55
  • @hg8 no worries. normal. Weird though.....I think it might have to do something with the flashplayer. It is enabled. I just dont know why it is adobe flashplayer (check screenshot of the OP)...when for chrome it should be pepper, right? I might go back to chromium. – Elysium Sep 07 '15 at 08:57
  • nah....same issue. I am using Opera for now and it works just fine. This has been like this for months, but now that I have a new laptop, I wanna find a solution. – Elysium Sep 07 '15 at 09:00

I had the same problem, this worked for me: (but your issue may be different) * Install pavucontrol * Open pavucontrol * In the playback tab you should see chrom[e|ium] as sound souce * In the (unlabeled) destination dropdown button change sound destination. (In my case from "internal digital" to "interlan analog" fixed the problem.)
