Twitch auto mute on refresh.

Gekkeau

I just started using this amazing browser. The only problem I am currently having is when I refresh a stream or auto refresh on Twitch it will mute the streams audio on Twitch, not the browser but the Twitch volume control, which makes it so I'm not counted as a viewer/viewer for drops. The 'Mute Tab Audio' setting in Vivaldi browser is set to 'Play All Audio'. 'Autoplay' and 'Sound' are also set to allow in the privacy screen.

@Gekkeau confirmed, happens on live streams and also on VODs of previous broadcasts. I tried also to set it to allow autoplay and SOMETIMES it also unmutes, but I can't figure out when and how. Most of the time I just have to press "m" to unmute when playback starts. No idea if it's Vivaldi or Twitch problem

Is this still a problem in v6+?

It's been a problem with Vivaldi for as long as I've used it. (v3-5.5)

Barely see any reports about it online, so it has to be a Vivaldi issue, maybe even extension induced.

EDIT: Yes it has happened in 6.5, including the sidebars (notably chat) being minimized for some reason. Feels rarer though.

It started again for me with latest snapshot 6.6.3271.4, randomly, some Twitch stream (live or VOD replay) starts muted.
Never happened in a long time, and I watch Twitch daily.
Seems it happens at least once a year, as I have commented about this also one year ago

I can confirm this. It always happens with some channels. It always happens with https://www.twitch.tv/cohhcarnage

I just cleared my profile because I thought there was something going on with that but it has nothing to do with the Profile.

Have you posted a bug report?

I can confirm this happens on the stable version 6.6.3271.45. Opening any twitch channel results in it always starting as muted. Tried on a fresh profile with the same result.
