When I play a song on google chrome with the youtube music webpage, It refuses to play or change a song. It seems that when i try to play something, it gives a 0:06 second blank audio and after a while of nothing happening and the play button not responding it finally starts playing which is annoying when im listening to a playlist. Im wondering if this problem has to do with zorin os codecs, thank you.
Is Google Chrome Flatpak, Snap or .deb Version? Because Flatpak's and Snap's are containerized they have limited Permissions which can cause sometimes some Issues. So, using the .deb Version would be a good Option.
Because of the Codecs, You can do several Things:
- Open Software Center and scroll all the Way to the End. There is a Button called ''Codecs''? Click on it and You get a List of installable Codecs. Install them all.
- Install more Codecs with the Terminal Command
sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extrasbut don't be surprised. When You install it, it will come a Window for a Licence Agreement. That is because this Package includes Microsoft Fonts. - Install the VLC Media Player can offer additional Codecs, too. You can simply install it with
sudo apt install vlc
I use the deb version
You can try
sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras
What I would try first:
In the browser address bar, run
chrome://settings
Search for hardware acceleration and disable it - then relaunch Chrome and test.
You may need to clear the cache:
Addressbar:
chrome://settings/siteData
Search music.youtube.com and clear out any stored data.
Ok, it seems that the problem is with the uBlock Lite extention. Is there any other way to block ads without breaking youtube music in general?

Ah... I can only suggest testing other add block extensions... I actually do not ever install any and can offer no suggestions or insight.
You could try instead of Google Chrome Brave.
