hi, the problem seems to have disappeared after installation of pulseaudio-alsa which appears to be essential to the proper functioning of Chromium. when Chromium had "the hand" on the audio and was able to produce sound, I could not hear the other participants talking with Jitsi while I could hear their arrival (sound signal) and the sound test was ok (this was also the case with Jitsi under Firefox). to summarize, pulseaudio-alsa seems to have corrected the random sound problem with Chromium and the second problem that appeared in the meantime with Jitsi. if this is the case, it could be added as a Chromium/Firefox dependency (eg. pacman)... regards, lacsaP.

with or without the option, Chromium is still willing to play sound once in a while. what really bothers me is the randomness of the problem.

Try loading snd_hda_intel without extra options. If this helps, you can always use the ALSA_CARD environment variable for choosing the audio device.
