I have chrome, version info:

Google Chrome 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit) (cohort: Stable) Revision 5f4eb224680e5d7dca88504586e9fd951840cac6-refs/branch-heads/3987_137@{#16} OS Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (Build 7601.24544)

And when I execute

navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia({video:1, audio: 1})

then select "share audio" in the popup, I get a DOM exception :

"could not start audio source"

This only happens on my desktop windows 7, but on my windows 7 laptop, it doesn't display this error. I just copied the Chrome folder from my program files and put it on the desktop, from the working laptop, but still, the error is there.

I noticed under the support for audio, it mentions that chrome version 74^ is [almost the only one that is] supported, which I appear to have version 80.

Any ideas how to fix this, if there is a way?

  • I can confirm that it appears to work on my Win10 machine with chrome `80.0.3987.149`. Initially my theory was this might have to do with Chrome refusing to start audio if page being loaded over HTTP, but that, again, appears to just work for me – timur Apr 07 '20 at 10:50
  • @timur yeah it works on my windows 7 laptop, but when I transfered theentire chrome application to my offline windows 7 desktop (64 bit), it gave the error. It could be its something in the comptuers settings, but I cant imagine what, since the audio is just the default system audio (or is it)? – B''H Bi'ezras -- Boruch Hashem Apr 07 '20 at 10:52
  • well, you potentially have a few audio recording/playback devices - it may be worth checking whether you can record sound on that machine at all – timur Apr 07 '20 at 10:55
