V 6.6 | Missing Mute Tab 🔇
-
I think I have the same problem so I'll add on in the hopes that there will be a solution. I'm on 6.6.3271.48 (Stable channel) (64-bit) but it happened for a few updates already. Tested on new profile with no extensions. Have not changed any settings in any timeframe that can be reasonably attributed to the issue at hand. Have never changed any flags, command lines or registry.
Pre-issue:
Every tab has it's own mute button on the tab and each button mutes each tab individually no matter if it is the same site or different sites. All is well.
In this post assume that anything I say is "normal" refers to this state.Now:
On anything that isn't Youtube, using Twitch as an example:
Every opened tab with content from Twitch has it's audio played from the first tab.
You cannot mute individual tabs(there is no icon on the tab), and muting the first tab mutes all audio from any currently playing Twitch content.
All Twitch content are affected by this mute on the first tab, including embedded Twitch streams on a tab with a different domain.
If you close the first tab, any other tabs with the same domain loses all audio until re-opened.
Seperate sites do work individually, so tabs from site A and site B have individual mute buttons, but they still have the same issue so all tabs from site A has it's audio from one site A tab and all tabs from site B has it's audio from one site B tab.
It also does not matter if it is separate tabs or windows, but it works as normal if you open two Twitch windows with separate Vivaldi profiles.On Youtube things get weird.
Sometimes it works as normal with individual mute icons per tab, sometimes it doesn't and just work like my above example, sometimes it works but only if you mute the video(through Youtube player and not the tab icon) before opening another Youtube tab, sometimes it works if you manually open a new tab instead of middle click. However, even when Youtube decides to work normally, the other sites still have the same problem.I don't know what is going on with this issue or why Youtube sometimes works properly but everything other site stay broken.
But I'm posting this in hope that it being so weird and specific to Youtube only might provide a hint to a solution. -
The problem should be partially fixed in the last snapshot: https://www.reddit.com/r/vivaldibrowser/comments/1b96uyq/comment/kuir1ht/
But we will find out whether the problem has actually been resolved only after the release of the patch for the stable channel.
As I mentioned earlier, this problem does not occur on a "fresh" installation/profile

Just updated to 6.6.3271.50, seems to be fixed now.

ME TOO and it is!
Do you know how ancient Firefox looks? So many white screens; it's so painful. Weirdities and such. I'm happy to be able to use just Vivaldi again! Thanks for posting that @SpeedingTurtle

It's not fixed for me.
I've tried 6.6.3271.50 and the latest snapshot. All sound is still routed through the first tab with audio, which is the only tab with a mute button.
Also happens with a new profile. -
Indeed. I just did the update, tested it briefly and it worked.
However, after having the using the browser instance for a bit it's broken again.
Maybe restarting the browser fixes it and the bug is triggered by something that just happens during a regular browsing session? -
Same. It does still do the mute issue. In addition, now if I close the twitch tab that does have the speaker icon, it then stops outputting audio for my remaining twitch tabs until I refresh one of them so that it becomes the twitch tab with a speaker icon again.
Tried creating a fresh profile again and it worked for all of about 3 minutes before breaking again. (I installed a few extensions, ublock origin, FFZ, privacy badger, duckduckgo privacy essentials, session buddy, and keepassxc-browser. I did also try disabled all of the extensions with no luck just to rule them out.
Hopefully a proper fix can get pushed in the future, as this is frustrating to not have per tab muting.

@murixbob Try from a clean profile without having installing any extensions prior at all and write down exactly the steps you take until you get the “mute tab” behavior to break. The better this is documented, the faster it will be resolved for everyone. Since it only took you a mere 3 minutes until dysfunction, there should be a minimal way to trigger it.
-
Also just realized, it happens with YouTube now, too. But not always, some tabs are liked, some are independent. Right now I have a couple of YouTube tabs open and most are fine, but two specific tabs seem to be linked.
I have not yet figured you a pattern to this. Will experiment some more. -

I also still have this problem.
It's strange that some people are fine if the fix is only in the snapshot channel

Problem was resolved in yesterday's release

Hello guys, my problem is: using for example the whatsapp web and I click with the right button on tab and choose mute tab, ok, it's muted but doesnt show me its muted... Before we could choose what tab will be muted and if we click with the right button it will show the muted sign. Now, doesnt show at all... And yes, I recently update to the last version.
