Hello,

Is there a way to Disable "Tab Audio Auto Muting"?

When I watch or listen something, and at the same time get distracted, switch to work on other sites, opening tabs, the tab with video or audio automatically turns off the sound, which is annoying, this happens very often. Is there a way to turn off automatic mute, when opening other tabs? or can this feature be turned off in the browser settings in the future or completely turned off by default?

1) We can mute all sound by clicking on the sound icon. (there is such a option in the settings)
2) We can mute sound by clicking on the sound icon on the tab
3) We can use Audio Player in the browser.

Why this function of auto muting exist, i'm going crazy every time to unmute it.
At least, there should be a way to disable it. if possible, in the settings.
I know, that this is the chrome feature, but, perhaps you can add such a setting.

Thank you for your amazing work.
May be caused by Tab Freezing feature.
You can try changing "chrome://flags/#calculate-native-win-occlusion" to "Disabled".

No, it didn't help.

This bug is weird.
Have you checked your extensions?
And does it occur in safe mode?

I really apologize for taking up your time. for some reason i thought it was the auto mute feature in chrome, which there have been publications about.
Indeed, it was the extension and its setting that did it, which i would not have even thought could be the cause.
Thanks so much for your reply and forgive my stupidity Smile
You are a very responsive developer, thank you for your amazing work.

By the way, the extension that was causing the problem is called: YouTube Mouse Controls Settings.
Very handy extension, for fast-forwarding and fast-backwarding videos using the mouse wheel.

To fix the problem, you need to disable it in the settings:
"Attempt to fix the lag between the player volume and this script"
