Package: chromium
Version: 49.0.2623.87-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Changing sound cards resulted in no sound in chromium even after the new
sound card was made default as documented at:
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc

It was only by running pavucontrol that I discovered that sound was being
output by chromium to the HDMI audio device and by disabling sound output 
in KDE to that device was able to get sound playing from chromium to the 
default sound card.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
