cjw We're at version 63 but chromium currently cannot (reliably) be built on the build system because the build takes longer than the configured timeout. You can test with my local build for now: http://www.time4t.net/~cjw/mageia/cauldron/RPMS/x86_64/chromium-browser-stable-63.0.3239.108-0.1.mga6.x86_64.rpm If the audio issue persists with chromium 63, see below. Please open chrome://media-internals in a separate tab, look up the player for the facebook video, and report: - audio_codec_name - audio_decoder (or just copy the whole player properties, and any error/warning messages you can find in the Log) Created attachment 9922 [details]

The videos are not the same ones, but the audio issues remain.
Chromium wrong/weird, Chrome clear and understandable.

Additional Chromium
Will download your sandbox version of Chromium to see if it resolves anything
No resolution. I have made sure that I played the identical video in both this time. Two (2) more files to be uploaded. google-chrome (updated today to version 64.0.3282) that works, and chromium (version 63.0.3239) that doesn't Created attachment 9925 [details]

I tested with (direct) alsa output and pulseaudio output in my mga6 VM, both a video with AAC audio that I have stored locally, and streaming one of those facebook videos with AAC audio. All works fine here. Make sure you have libavcodec from the 'tainted' repository installed, otherwise AAC audio will only generate noise. [jerry@unix ~]$ locate libavcodec /usr/lib64/libavcodec.so.57 /usr/lib64/libavcodec.so.57.89.100 /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/libavcodec_plugin.so /usr/share/doc/ffmpeg/libavcodec.html [jerry@unix ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libavcode.so.57 error: file /usr/lib64/libavcode.so.57: No such file or directory [jerry@unix ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libavcodec.so.57.89.100 lib64avcodec57-3.3.5-1.mga6 even created a symlink from /usr/lib64/libavcode.so -> /usr/lib64/libavcodec.so.57 to no avail. Note that *not* all audio is screwed up, just live posted. A link to youtube.com generally works. A link to spotify tonight worked just fine. There are two flavors of lib64avcodec57 and you can only have one of them installed, so creating symlinks will not help. lib64avcodec57-3.3.5-1.mga6 is indeed the flavor without AAC support, for that you need lib64avcodec57-3.3.5-1.mga6.tainted . See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Software_management - you need to enable tainted/release and tainted/updates media. This should probably be mentioned in chromium-browser-stable's description. Of course not all audio is broken, only AAC encoded audio. Audio encoded as vorbis, opus, mp3, etc. should work fine. Status:
