Ok,
This is going to require a bit more research.

Btw, what sound system are you using in Linux?

Hmmmmm. Ok.

So, 2 separate browsers, both display the same issue with sound playback.

Well, lets see.
1. Permissions settings for the sound device?
2. Both Browsers part of your user group? Or group assigned to sound device?
3. Both browsers need updating?
4. Codec issues (mp3 audio not supported)?

Btw, I just did a duckduckgo.com search for the terms “Linux OS no sound in Chrome or Firefox”. Some of the results are old, but may bear fruit in your case.

Btw, I think VLC has a plugin that will work with either browser that can handle codecs and playback media that might not work natively in either of those browsers. Also, have you tried other sites than just Youtube for video/audio playback? If so, does the same issue present there as well? Try playing one of the videos from anime9.com or one of the other movie/tv/multimedia sites. If you get sound there, then it’s clearly an issue dealing with youtube and their handling of the audio portion of the video content.

I'm using chrome but I tried with firefox as well and the sound doesn't work with it either. As for extensions or plugins I never needed them before.

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. First system sounds don’t want to work (turns out to be a kernel version issue) and now Youtube sound doesn’t want to work.

Well, considering I had similar issues with youtube in the past, it usually turns out to be some browser or plugin issue. What is the browser you are using and are there any plugins or extensions that are needed for sound playback of streaming content?

Ooooooops! That will definitely do it as well. Mental note, check kernel version if lock file issue doesn’t pan out. :)

Check for a lock file. There is probably one still hanging around in your /var somewhere.

I remember running pulseaudio once and that fixed it but when 
i ran it this time it complained about it already running. Look at what transpired:

bmike1@MikesBeast:~$ pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
bmike1@MikesBeast:~$ ps -e |grep pulse
 2723 ?        00:00:08 pulseaudio
bmike1@MikesBeast:~$ kill 2723
bmike1@MikesBeast:~$ pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
bmike1@MikesBeast:~$ ps -e |grep pulse
 7063 ?        00:00:03 pulseaudio

Would someone help me fix this?
