Description:

Sound is severely broken in chromium for me after updating to 26.0.1410.43, it is not silent but the sound is broken up and choppy.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

It worked in 25, broken after update to 26.
Launching chromium with a virgin user-dir did not fix the issue. So no extensions of weird settings at fault here.

Steps to reproduce:

Launch chromium and open up anything that plays sound: youtube or whatever.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  No response
Additional comments about closing:  26.0.1410.43-2 should have already fixed this issue by using a patch that restores the ALSA buffer size to 2048.

I will most likely push a fixed package soon.

For reference, the downstream issue is:

Chromium sound still choppy with HTML5, but works with flash.

Please provide a link to an example video where the sound is choppy.

Also, are you using PulseAudio or pure ALSA?
