Public bug reported: I just discovered that after upgrading to Utopic a few days ago, youtube html5 and flash videos simply don't play in Chrome, Chromium, or FireFox. Videos will load, appear to buffer, but not play at all. The player interface will be responsive, but the video does not play, the seek bar does not move, and no sound is heard. I checked the software updater tool to see if there have been further releases of any of these packages, and it says my computer's software is up to date. I did some searching and found this bug, recently closed from inactivity which appears to describe the same symptoms as I'm having: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1386931
