Cannot play Spotify and Youtube videos in Google Chrome concurrently in Ubuntu Wily 15.10
If I pause Spotify, I can play a Youtube video. If I close the window with the Youtube video, I can play Spotify. If I play a Youtube video while Spotify is playing, there will be no audio. If I try to play a song in Spotify while a Youtube video is playing, it will say unable to play track.
How can I fix this? This is a fresh Ubuntu 15.10 install with those to programs added.

The problem is with Chrome. It needs the package libasound2-plugins:i386 in order to play sound through PulseAudio. Installing that package fixed my issues.
