You Tube audio problem

Post by Lucio Chiappetti » 2025-06-27, 13:35

Happened today listening one of the seminars on https://www.youtube.com/@sait-societaas ... 11/streams.
I started watching and listening, then (as I sometimes do) I continued listening but I moved to another tab. The effect was that when returning to the YT tab, audio became silent. Using pavucontrol (I am on Linux) I saw that the Pale Moon audio stream had gone to 0 dB. Of course it was enough to raise the slider to repristinate the audio volume, so it is not a serious problem.

I went to the site and clicked on 3 videos--no sound from any of them. Two Pale Moon tabs were open.

Edit: I just went to YouTube in Pale Moon and another browser, clicked on a video on the first page, and no audio. What's going on?

Edit 2: Mis-cue on my part. My speaker was on but volume turned down. I went to the stated site and clicked on 3 videos. The sound was on. I opened a new tab, first with just a blank tab and then with going to another site. In both cases, when I went back to the 'problem' site the volume was still there.
