@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

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.

I'm very glad to hear from you ,I think my problem had been saved.
here is my solution
setting->tabs->mute tab audio choose play all audio

@sheponion i'm using your code and it is perfect. This should be the default setting in Vivaldi or at least have the option to choose it.

So, 2 generations of subterranian feral crypto-nerd subhumans later,

I stumble across this 'mute', 'unmute' debacle. and, i do say, "debacle". yeah. i just like to say it. Debacle. debacle debacle debacle.

Yep, i'm lookin at hotkeys, tryin to sus out some order for my own subhuman crypto-nerdy life ... and, low and behold, wouldn't ya know that both 'mute all' and 'mute other' DO in, fact, "toggle" their respective "unmute" brethren.

So. soooooOOoOOoOoo.
That being said. Well. .... that, ...
and, "debacle" ...
Why then do we retain the unmute pair anyhow?
Come to think of it, why did we have them in the first place?
Oh. Cause they weren't toggles until recently. Eh?
Oh, okay. huh. But, why then was "mute" [current] given "toggle" functionality to start with. Why was it good enough to recieve such elegance, such simplicity, such utter decorum ... and yet, it's sabbath worhsiping brethren, "unmute all" and "unmute just ya'll over there", did not receive such elevated and pious privelage?

Explain ah to meeeeeiahhhh.

Por favor.

[and yes. i am a shmuck in real life. or, eye-aur-ell, as ya'll call it]

This is now implemented in the latest version of vivaldi.

If background tabs in stacks play sound, the main tab stack will show an icon.

As of vivaldi 2.8 This is now fixed.

@paul1149 ah, those sneaky extensions!

Yeah I had a 'weird stuff happening' issue with Firefox one time and tried everything (except disabling the plug-ins) and when someone pointed out on their forum that it was probably an old plug-in up to no good, I disabled them all and the problem evaporated.

Those things are sometimes more trouble then they're worth!

Glad you got it sorted!

The option to mute Web Panels has now been implemented in Vivaldi 5.4. Read more about the release on the blog.
Just right-click on the Web Panel and select Mute Tab.

bumping this one. Either fix the longstanding sound bug, or add a mute white and blacklist.

The issue also prevwpent extensions from working.

Update to Vivaldi 2.7 to get this new functionality 😀 : https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-2-7-bring-more-productivity-to-your-day/
