[solved] Chromium no longer plays audio

Since a few days ago, chromium could no longer play audio.

Other programs still can; i use MPV and discord all the time, no problem. But chrome doesn't even appear in pavucontrol.

I tried looking at chrome://settings/content/sound and ensuring that it was allowing sites to play audio, and it is, but it still doesn't show up in pavucontrol even when i have a youtube video playing. It's not just youtube though, no video plays sound. Those videos are not muted in the browser.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it didn't work either. Is there any obvious things i'm missing and forgot to check?

Re: [solved] Chromium no longer plays audio

This is incredibly embarassing. I enabled apparmor and forgot about that; it was blocking it from audio.
