Hello,

For several weeks now, I've been seeing this message that appears for a few seconds before playing each video, accompanied by a "Playback ID: xxxxxx" which is different each time.
I've gone through threads regarding the same issue, and each time the solution was to clear the cookies. Of course, I did that, but it didn't work.
And I'm still at the same point, still seeing the same message.
I'm getting really frustrated.
Thank you in advance for your help

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 80.0.3987.87

It may sound silly, but it sometimes helps.
''What worked for me (on a fresh w7-64 sp1, grrrr): plug in headphones/speakers to the pc (or even a simple jack with nothing on the end to bluff the realtek driver)!
