Running chromium as normal I get the following awesome stderr feedback: Failed to create secure directory (/var/run/user/1000/pulse): Operation not permitted ALSA lib /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.1.9/work/alsa-lib-1.1.9/src/dlmisc.c:285:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib64/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so ((null): /usr/lib64/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so: cannot open shared object file: Operation not permitted) [28908:28908:1110/112026.374936:ERROR:alsa_util.cc(204)] PcmOpen: default,No such device or address Obvious culprit is sandbox and indeed chromium --no-sandbox resolves the problem. It appears upstream already has a solution at https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1827296 but this does not apply cleanly to ~amd64 chromium (unless someone beat me to it since I treesync'ed). I will take a look at backporting the patch but for now I'm chicken-and-egg'ed as I'm using the affected browser to post my bug :) (thinking ahead! I should try it sometime!)

Hmm, OK those patches don't apply because they are already in there. So... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The upstream change allows /run/user/<userid>/pulse, but your chromium build tries to access /var/run/user/<userid>/pulse. You could try to patch this and see if it helps.

While such philosophical questions are being considered, the attached work-around worked for me.
This should be the fix for M79 and should be included in next beta channel: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/986ceaa29203bd7e0ed6a7a32ee3ec4da4941c9c

Can someone confirm that it works again with current beta channel?
