Macos – Chrome youtube doesn’t play/Twitch plays with no sound

google-chromemacmacosvideoyoutube

I have OS X Yosemite, Chrome version 40.0.2214.115 (64-bit)

When I open youtube video it loads but I can't play the video. I didn't download any extensions before youtube stopped working correctly (but still there could be an update on extensions currently active which I didn't notice).

  • On safari video plays perfect
  • Pasting URL on infinitelooper allows me to play the video.
  • Incognito mode doesn't play either.
  • Chrome flags "Disable hardware-accelerated video decode" is in unavailable experiments.

Tried twitch, it plays but with no sound (both in incognito mode and normal). Safari plays fine.
Vimeo doesn't play either.

Best Answer

Chrome - Settings - Advance Settings - Use hardware acceleration when available - deselect it.

You may have to restart the browser.
