None of the following specific Audio<feature> flags prefixed with --enable-features= AudioServiceLaunchOnStartup AudioServiceAudioStreams AudioServiceOutOfProcess have any affect. Launching Chromium with --no-sandbox is the only means that have tried so far which results in audio being output at Chromium 79.0.3941.4. Is that the expected result of the design and implementation of audio now? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1850069 Title: No sound output at chromium-browser 79.0.3941.4 dev channel Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps to reproduce the problem: 1.
