Background audio playback is no longer working

[tomtomtom193]

I changed my phone from Google Pixel 7 to Pixel 9 today, reinstalled the Vivaldi browser, synced it, and restored the settings, but the setting to enable background audio playback is not retained and videos, etc. are no longer playing in the background. Are there any plans to fix this?

With the recent update, I'm now able to play YouTube in the background on my Google Pixel 9 Pro! Thank you to all the developers!
