buggy behaviour: chrome, flash player, plugging in USB DAC

[tanakas]

Hello,

Recently I updated my 14.04, and chrome stopped playing flash content under specific conditions. When I plug in an Fiio e7 DAC (used as external sound card), everything works fine. However, when I plug in a Fiio X5 DAC, flash immediately crashes, and so does chrome.


Any suggestions how to fix the problem?
