@krojack If the window is maximised, there is no problem as one can simply click on the very top of the tab, which has infinite height. Make sure that you have enabled this checkbox in Settings, Tabs, Tab Display: Remove Tab Spacing in Maximised Windows Mute Pinned Tab.png If you don't use maximise windows, then I agree that it is difficult to point and click accurately. Wider Pinned Tabs might be another solution to this problem.

@Pesala said in Background Audio Tabs: Welcome to the Community. Here are a few links for your bookmarks that you may find useful: Thanks for telling me about this, sorry that I didn't see it earlier.

I can't find the "renitent" button. I installed all extensions, that were installed on the wrong instance of Vivaldi. But Youzeek works. (Although breaks playing frequently.) But I detected an other problem with extensions. I use Extension toggle to hide the hidden buttons in the earlier installed instance. The showed buttons are out of the Extension toggle. But if I install clean the same build, and import the same extensions, and I activate the Extension toggle, then I can't show the buttons. In the clean installed instance I haven't right click menu item as Show button/Hide button. All extension are hidden, and I can pack and unpack only the all extensions together.

@kush08 Hi, if you switch the panel to "Show desktop Version" it still play if you hide the panel. You can reach the setting with RMC in the header to open the context menu. It would be nice to add some breaks in your text for better readability. Cheers, mib

Yes, please add an option for a smaller audio icon (Always use small audio icon). Here is my current custom.css to get a smaller audio icon and no hidden favicon: /* Do not hide favicon */ #tabs-container .favicon { transform: scale(1) !important; } /* Small audio icon */ #tabs-container .tab-audio { left: 0 !important; padding: 2px !important; height: 20px !important; width: 20px !important; border-radius: var(--radiusRound) !important; transform: scale(0.625) !important; background-color: #fff !important; } /* Enlarge audio icon on hover */ #tabs-container .tab-audio:hover { transform: scale(0.87) !important; } /* Black audio icon */ .audioicon { color: black; }

@Gwen-Dragon Thank You Gwen. I owe you one, no, two, perhaps more for all the help!

@iAN-CooG said in Automatically un-mute tabs that were playing when using "Prioritize active tab" option: As for now, you can set keyboard shortcuts to quickly mute all other tabs than the currently active one, and unmute all tabs, so it's just a matter of learning to press a key whenever you need it. You can certainly set keyboard shortcuts or mouse gestures to unmute all tabs. But it doesn't work if there are more than one windows open. When I play spotify in one window and I have sound going on in another window, spotify stays muted. Doesn't matter if I try via mouse gestures or keyboard shortcut. I have to open the window with the spotify tab in order to get the gestures/shortcuts to work. As I said before, if the devs just didn't fuck around with the Prioritize Active Tab all of those issues would be resolved. I mean, the option even implies some sort of ranking order in which sound is muted/played, not just a simple on/off.

@Gwen-Dragon I agree, so it would need to be an "off by default" option.

@chegr I think after favicon it's a good idea, before the title then, it 's a better solution than this vivaldi's current one, even when you have a lot of tab shrunk, it needs title space.

A bump for your topic and report of similar problem in google hangouts: the microphone is muted. The icons for Mute, Hang up and Show settings are invisible but labels appear on mouseover. Those functions seem to work; many combinations of settings tried (mute/unmute of course) but mic remains muted 😞 Microphone works fine in e.g. audacity. MXLinux 18, Vivaldi 2.1.1337.51 Edit: the invisible buttons was caused by either uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger :oops: but disabling them did not solve microphone problem. Edit: Weird, mic now works here in g-phone with settings I had tried before: Vivaldi microphone=ask; g-phone microphone=built in analog stereo. 🙄 Not necessary to disable extensions.

@S_Paternotte Windows update sometimes offer faulty/older drivers. Always better get them from the site, as you actually did 😉

@zeiglerxz That is a great idea! The android smartphone has a similar feature: When it's playing music, the usual set of buttons (previous song, stop, next song) is displayed on the lock screen and on the notification bar (I don't know what it's called). On the web browser, I'm often annoyed by how cumbersome it is to stop the sound from a tab when I have many tabs: Brows the tabbar to determine which tab is making the sound. Activate the tab and hit the stop button. You could say that I could hit the loud-speaker icon on the tab instead of step 2, but that would just shut the sound up without stopping the playing, which wastes some CPU resource.

@zdm Unfortunately, you can't set this as a default style. You could add it to it's own file under resources/vivaldi/user_files, then every time you come across this, open page actions and turn it on.
