[Solved] No voice in Google Chrome

Hello !

After I upgrade the Arch system with "sudo pacman -Syu", the google-chrome installed from aur packages doesn't produce any sound anymore.

I tried several previous version of Google chrome, namely 40.0, 44.0, 45.0 and dev version 47.0. I cannot hear sound from any of the above version.

But the vlc player, mpv player and firefox works normally.

I suppose the problem may come from the  alsa or pulseaudio. But I cannot manage to get chrome to work.

Thanks for your help!

Here is my "alsa -l" results.

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC3239 Analog [ALC3239 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

and "~/.asoundrc".

pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
    device 0
}

ctl.!default {
        type hw           
        card 1
}

Besides, when starting chrome from the command line, a warning will show:

[WARNING:flash/platform/pepper/pep_module.cpp(63)] SANDBOXED

Re: [Solved] No voice in Google Chrome

I found the solution.

The Chrome doesn't handle the ~/.asoundrc and treat the default hdmi sound card as output device.

I use a pulseaudio management tool "pavucontrol" to solve it.
