The Chromebook Test: Living In Google Chrome For A Month (Part 19)

After  I started using Chromium OS I stated that YouTube Videos & Sound doesn't work. I've just discovered that Sound actually works along with YouTube videos posted by Google, but the other YouTube Channels that I subscribe to and Music via Google Play Music doesn't play along with videos in Google Play Movies & TV & Downloaded Videos, as they rely on Adobe Flash Player, that's ether broken or not present in Chromium OS.

I've tried one solution that I found on Google but that didn't work, I'll keep searching Google for solutions that will get Media to 100% work within Chromium OS. I'll ether post an update in my scheduled 3 Week review post or my 1 Month review post depending on how soon I find a solution that works.

I think that I thought that sound didn't work because I tried using my Microsoft Life-Chat USB Headset, so it looks like Chromium OS & possibly Chrome OS doesn't support USB Headsets, but I'll have to give it a try when I can get my hands on an official Chromebook.
