Hello and welcome to the forum, Does this happen when you browse the web? I did a search regarding this issue and came across this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/76672...-04-lts-chrome If might be helpful and worth a read

Still it would be interesting to know how it works in 17.04. If there are problems then a bug report will be appreciated.
