Thanks reporting this.
I can't reproduce on my system: chromium + Amazon Prime Video service.
Sound seems OK, not louder than in Firefox, not louder than other webservice, not louder than music files on my system.
$ inxi -Axx

chromium-browser =>
chromium-browser-stable-89.0.4389.128-1.mga8.src.rpm Yes, it does seem to be restricted to the Dell XPS 13. Chromium works fine on my desktop machine. Any suggestions as to what could produce this? It seems that on Chromium the output and input are being fed into each other. Try creating a new user and see if the problem applies for that user too. CC:

davidwhodgins I tried with hnew user, and I still get a loud "square" wave sound with chromium on the new user. I could not run Amazon as chromium claimed that protected content was blocked, but their "solution" did not correspond to anything on my system. (Note that protected content was marked as allowed.) but that is another problem. See if running pavucontrol, and on the input devices tab ensuring the microphone is muted makes any difference. Tried that. That particular computer has no active input so there is no microphone to mute. As I said, Chrome works fine, Chromium does not. It did work fine on Mga7. I just tested with both Mga7 and Mga8 having 89.0.4389.128 chromium-browser (with an additional -1 at the end for Mga8) The sound works fine on Mga7. I get the squarewave on Mga8. Same home directory, so same configuration on my end. Possibly different system configuration of something. Please look at bug 28931 which has references & even a 'fix' for another Chromium sound problem, which looks to be upstream. CC:

lewyssmith I tried the quick fix (--disable-features=...) but that made no difference. Still the same continuous sound rather than the sound that should be coming out.

See both the attachment, and this: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28299#c6 To clarify: this happens on one particular machine (Dell XPS 13). Does this have both M7 & M8 using the same home directory? This is what you seem to describe.

However, I also ran a test in which I used a new test user on Mga8 and that had the same problem with Chromium. I will try the gtk3 addition. That complaint did not seem to be relevant to my problem but included it just in case I was misunderstanding something. One last question, does this system have microphone? If there is one microphone, disable it in Plasma applet and try again chromium, please. The gtk3 error is unrelated. Ever confirmed:

1 (In reply to Aurelien Oudelet from comment #12) > The gtk3 error is unrelated. I suspect the same; it was 'just in case'. Jus to report, the problem seems to have resolved itself, either because of some update or something else. I have realised that I have not had the problem for at lest 3 weeks now. I cannot say what solved it. (In reply to w unruh from comment #14) > Jus to report, the problem seems to have resolved itself, either because of > some update or something else.
