How come I can't get audio in Chromium for WebVR?

Question

I'm using Chromium for my Vive but don't get audio.

Console says: Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Unable to decode audio data. Anyone had this issue already?

Answer 1

Make sure you are using an open codec since Chromium is fully open. This means MP3s won't work in Chromium. Try converting your audio files to .ogg:

ffmpeg -i in.mp3 out.ogg
