Ubuntu

no sound or video on web.

Asked by louise smith on 2019-07-31

When I start up and go to youtube it reads
 “ Audio render error, Please restart your computer'
It also happens on every web page I go to. Sound test works music player works. It's just when I'm on the web.
I have to restart 4-6 times before I get sound.

I am running
ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS
My computer is
Inspiron- 560

Support for Ubuntu 14.04 has already ended (except for server systems under paid extended security maintenance), see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

I suggest that you upgrade to a supported Ubuntu release.

A web search for the error message "Audio render error, Please restart your computer" indicates that an upgrade of the BIOS to the latest version might help.
