Subj : Chromium & Firefox can't play videos again

Once again an upgrade to Bookworm on a Pi5 has killed video playback in
both Firefox and Chromium browsers. The video starts to load, thumbnails
keep coming but the playback doesn't start and there's no sound. 

I've tested it on the New York Times, YouTube, Netflix and some homemade
videos that used to work. Now nothing plays, failing in the same way.

If anybody's seen this or knows a fix, please post.

Thanks for reading,
