I’ve just enabled the GUI-domain with sys-gui , however, I cannot seem to figure out why it won’t play youtube videos? is it just me?
Is it slow, or do you get some error?
I encountered this too. VLC plays fine, but YouTube videos in Firefox don’t play at all. It’s still responsive, and you can click on the video control buttons, only the picture doesn’t move…

It just loads the first frame and gets stuck. The video doesn’t play at all!

A workaround could be found in this reply!

#… ## Qubes OS release
**Qubes release 4.1.0**
### Brief summary
GUI-domain seems to be unable to render videos with audio streams, PulseAudio setup seems to be incomplete, (no autostart & when started manually says no cards available). Looking to ~/.xsession-errors says `sys-gui AUDIO connected to None. Skipping`
. I tried playing muted videos and it works fine, I suspect that the issue is coming from PulseAudio
### Steps to reproduce
```
sudo qubesctl top.enable qvm.sys-gui
sudo qubesctl top.enable qvm.sys-gui pillar=True
sudo qubesctl --all state.highstate
```
((wait for a long time)
`sudo qubesctl top.disable qvm.sys-gui
`
set default gui:
`qubes-prefs default-guivm sys-gui
`
### Expected behavior
Logging to GUI-Domain works fine.
### Actual behavior
GUI-Domain works reasonably well regardless of some cluttering, however, it cannot render videos or streams with audio.
_((videos not rendered at all unless it has no audio))_
