V 6.6 | Missing Mute Tab 🔇
-
@luetage Oh I see! OK thank you.
-
@Zalex108 I've changed nothing on my browser. That doesn't mean that something hasn't changed. I did look at Mute Tab Audio earlier (under TAbs) and it says Play All Audio. (on all tabs) and I switched that to play only in Active Tab, but that didn't change anything.

@Zalex108 I see that.
I have tested setting the audio to only play in the Active Tab. I closed my browser, reopened it and tested. It's not acting as expected; it does the same thing - mutes all tabs or plays all tabs from that domain. I tried messing with the right click Mute all or Mute domain but that does nothing at all. Everything still plays, if it's been playing.

Then, check the shortcut.

@Zalex108 oh you mean my startup parameters in the Vivaldi properties? I did that when I read your post. I do not have those parameters.

@lisating
I can confirm this. Yesterday everything worked fine. Today I updated to version 6.6.3271.45 on Windows 11 and I'm getting the same bugs you're seeing. The first Twitch tab opened works perfectly fine, every other tab has sound or maybe not, it's a gamble.
I think if you mute the first tab, then open a second tab, the second tab is just permanently muted, it will never produce any sound ever. Unmuting the first tab, closing the second tab, reopening it brings will display a "Click to unmute" option for about two seconds. If you don't click it, back to being forever muted. If you click it there will be sound but it's still linked to the first tab's sound. It's a mess and pretty much unusable.
However, this happening after the upgrade might be a red herring. Other browsers seem to be partly affected? It could be Twitch's fault? More experiments required. -
@Zalex108 I have vision issues. I'm not sure I could trust myself to edit the registry properly anymore. I'll have to see if I am able. If I can, I'll post back.

No need,
Just asked whether you did it before and added that Switch or not.Since despite not appearing on the Shortcut, would be triggered by the registry, but just in case added since this has to be done manually.
So,
I guess you didn't modified those Registry entries and add itOk,

Okay, I think I'm seeing two separate issues here:
- If you open a stream with a new tab in the background it might (not sure what exactly triggers this) display this "Click to unmute" prompt for two seconds. Because the tab is in the background you can't see it and can't click it and sound in that tab is forever gone. Can be avoided opening tabs in the foreground only and being ready to speedclick that. I have see this thing in other browsers, too, but that means nothing because all of those browsers are Chromium based.
- Opening a second Twitch tab will not give you separate volume controls on it. By which I means the speaker icon on the tab in the tab bar. Only the first tab will have it and clicking it will mute all Twitch tabs. This one seems to be a exclusive issue with Twitch on Vivaldi introduced in the latest 6.6 update. YouTube in Vivaldi does not have this issue. Twitch in Edge does not have this issue (but might be based on an older Chromium build).
-
@Zalex108 Oh no I didn't add those. I haven't needed to change my registry in years. I'm sorry I thought you wanted me to add them.

I always Open in a New Tab. I tried opening in a background tab, was not able to open the tab in time to see the prompt you described. But, when I did go to close that second muted tab, there was half a second of sound from it. Weird!

- OK It USED to give separate volume controls/speaker icon in each tab, until a few days ago for me. So you're saying it was introduced in the latest 6.6 update. OK. What can I do from here? Would submitting a support ticket to report it help? Please let me know. Yes I tested in Chrome and Firefox, but not Edge.
Thank you everyone for helping me look into this.
Can I go back to the previous version? I see 6.5 there but doubting I can install that without removing something.
-
I can confirm it's an issue with the current version:
I uninstalled Vivaldi, went to the download archive https://vivaldi.com/download/archive/?platform=win and downloaded the previous version 6.5.3206.63 and everything is fine again. I hope we'll get a fixed version soon, because running an outdated browser version is usually a bad idea. Do not reccomend. -
@SpeedingTurtle Oh Yes I was going to try this. OK I'll wait for an update. I'll have to use another browser in the meantime for the streaming purposes. Thanks for checking that.
-
Also another problem with this issue is, when I have just one Twitch tab open, and I open another browsing tab to do something, I want the stream to keep on playing (that's normal) but as soon as the Twitch tab is no longer the focus, it mutes. Not normal.

Should be something else.Yeah it appears to be the recent update. I will need to sit tight and wait for a fix. Thanks for your ideas!

I'll check
Here I use Twitch as a WebPanel.
Didn't noticed any Stop in playing other than Ads related. -
@lisating this may because the config ,please check if you select the play Only in Active Tab
