Ubuntu 13.04 Chrome Audio Muted

Updated from Ubuntu 12.04->12.10->13.04. Everything went smooth except for Chrome. Chrome has no audio, period, from Youtube or anything.
If I open up Pulse Audio volume controller I can see Chrome show up when I start a video but the volume indicators are not moving.
All other sounds work perfect, all other apps play sound no problem. This is entirely Chrome which is why I am at a loss.
Updates:
- reinstalling chrome didn't help
Running this command cleaned up a bunch but did not help:
sudo sh -c "apt-get update;apt-get dist-upgrade;apt-get autoremove;apt-get autoclean"
I tried the following, found to help people on 13.04 with audio issues but did not solve this:
sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio indicator-sound
sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio indicator-sound
sudo alsa force-reload
Only important update:
- When I restart chrome and start a video I hear maybe half a second of audio from the video then silence. Pulse volume controller even shows volume for that half second then goes silent.

I think this is likely a difficult one to debug. I am on Ubuntu 14.04 and discovered the same issue--audio on everything else OK except Google Chrome. I am also on an LDAP enabled network auth with home exported from another machine, so I am having my share of permissions issues on ~/config/google-chrome.
But what worked for me is to remove ~/.config/google-chrome completely (back it up before you do anything), and then fire up Google Chrome. Sound then worked magically, so I knew it had to do with my stale ~/.config/google-chrome. So I moved the items from my backup of ~/backup/google-chrome into the new ~/.config/google-chrome/ and viola! everything as you would expect, sound working flawlessly.
Hope this helps someone.
