If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device

Please help guys. I get this annoying error whenever I play any video. It buffers for 10 seconds and then starts. Buffering is there whenever I play any video but error only shows in youtube. When I pause and play it still buffers and shows this error. Internet is not the issue. I tried 3-4 browsers including firefox but no solution. There is some problem in audio because when I play video on mute, it plays and when I unmute it again starts to buffer and display the same error. I think there is some issue with audio drivers. When I try to install additional drivers it tells no additional drivers available for this device. Please tell if you require any info to solve this. I have tried many things to solve this but no solution. I have disabled hadware acceleration and installed multiple softwares and ran many terminal codes. Also I am completely new to Ubuntu so please tell every step to me. I dont want to switch back to windows!!


I did not found any solution to this however if you keep pulseaudio or volume mixer open in background it wont cause any problem.

I was facing this issue for the past couple of weeks. I fixed it by installing my Nvidia drivers and rebooting. You can go through these links below, I hope they will be helpful.

I had the same problem, and the solution for me was uninstalling PulseAudio and installing Pipewire.
