Running chromium as normal I get the following console feedback: ALSA lib /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.1.9/work/alsa-lib-1.1.9/src/pcm/pcm_ladspa.c:1509:(snd_pcm_ladspa_add_plugin) Unable to find or load plugin '(null)' ID 1098, path '/usr/lib64/ladspa:/usr/lib32/ladspa' [28627:28627:1113/012931.364553:ERROR:alsa_util.cc(204)] PcmOpen: default,No such file or directory ALSA lib /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.1.9/work/alsa-lib-1.1.9/src/pcm/pcm_ladspa.c:1509:(snd_pcm_ladspa_add_plugin) Unable to find or load plugin '(null)' ID 1098, path '/usr/lib64/ladspa:/usr/lib32/ladspa' [28627:28627:1113/012931.365508:ERROR:alsa_util.cc(204)] PcmOpen: plug:default,No such file or directory The result is no audio on video playback/streaming. Running "chromium --no-sandbox" resolves the problem, but is not ideal. Reproducible: Always

Not a dupe. Pulseaudio not on system. This is a different error that has nothing to do with pulseaudio. That bug and patch only deals with pulseaudio.

It is a duplicate, only the summary in the other bug is a bit misleading. Chromium-79 has an audio sandbox that allows only access to some files/pathes on the system (AFAICS hardcoded in chromium sources). By accident this sandbox is always enabled and there is no switch to disable it (except disabling sandboxing completely). Therefore Gentoo's PulseAudio (uses /var/run and not /run) and many other plugins are blocked.
