Suddenly, today the chrome browser updates itself to the newest version, 69, and the webrtc connection is lost.
There were no errors on version 67, but after update, I see this error (I'm using easyrtc and this is their error message):
Failed to get access to local media. Error code was NotFoundError.
I was thinking the problem maybe refers to easyrtc, not webrtc in generic form, but when I tested with test.webrtc.org I saw that the microphone is not on the list of devices it wants to allow permissions to use, and even the tests about the camera has been failed. Everything was perfect before update.

What should we do now?

Also, I do want to know is this because of my region (my beloved Iran) and is about regulations google applied to Iranian users, or this is a generic problem caused by update.

Platform, type of microphone, default sample rate?
Does the same happen with Chrome Canary?

Thanks for your reply
The problem is not platform specific, because I saw this on almost every platform (windows 7, ubuntu 18, android 4.4)
The problem is not microphone specific, as I said we have it working on chrome 67.
Yes, I've tested On version 70 beta, and the problem is there too.
With further investigation using DetectRTC plugin by MuazKhan, I found out that the browser cannot detect the microphone from top level. This means it is not recognizing there is a microphone out there. 
MuazKhan itself tested the version 69, and for him it is working fine.
I've attached the results of detectRTC plugin.
Thanks in advance

Ali,

can you share the issue address here when you open it? This may be related to a problem I've been experiencing myself (mic device with "Default" ID always failing) and so I'd like to keep track of that.

Thanks,
Lorenzo

Chrome Canary is version 71 and not 70. Please try it as well.
