Audio works fine for me, so you will need to provide more information such as:

1) Did earlier Chromium versions work for you in the past?
2) Are you using YouTube's HTML5 or Flash-based video player?
3) Are you using PulseAudio or plain ALSA?
4) Test if this video has audio: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/dalecurtis-shared/buck2.webm
5) Does Firefox have audio on YouTube? (Also test the bunny video from (4) in Firefox.)

Right click on the video; if the last option is "About Adobe Flash Player ..." then it's Flash, otherwise it's HTML5 and it'll say "About HTML5".

YouTube is most likely using Flash though. (You would need to be in the HTML5 trial to get the HTML5 player.¹)
