I am trying to fix an issue where there is no sound when I play some video & audio files in both Google Chrome and Opera browsers. It seems both Google Chrome and Opera have the same issue because the same exact files have no sound in both browsers.

Some items that play with no sound in Chrome browser & Opera Hangouts voice messages play with no sound.

Lynda.com training videos play with no sound. Here is a YouTube video that plays with no sound. Most YouTube videos play fine with sound, but there are many that play with no sound. I often have to switch to another browser just to hear the video. I would really like to fix this issue so I don't have to keep switching browsers.
