      @silaz Do you have any links that show the problem?

        @burnout426 Well, just use Opera and go on Twitter. If you shouldn't have the same issue like all the other people, I can upload a video to YT or something.

          @silaz I was hoping to gather specific links on Twitter to gauge how abundant these problem videos are.

            @burnout426 I can say it's getting worst. At first it was maybe 2-3 videos a day that had this problem but now most of the videos I saw on twitter has this.
            If you wanna compare two here is a link.

            Length : 56 seconds,audio is gone after 9 seconds
            https://twitter.com/erdalbiroll/status/1116473516684132352

            Length : 44 seconds, audio is perfectly fine
            https://twitter.com/Red_ZaZa_/status/1116575919215276033

            Edit: Also the fullscreen solution works.When the video is fullscreen, audio spikes up at 9 second so it is either a problem about how opera handles .ts file extension or how Twitter streams these.If you go fullscreen before 9 seconds you can turn it back to normal and it works fine.

              Yes, thanks. That's another one.

                The first video is screencaptured on a mobile (iPhone), also horizontal.
                The second video is landscape (manually pillarbox'd), possibly from a computer.

                It seems the theory that the problem is with mobile recorded/processed/uploaded videos is looking true.

                I'm curious to see if we can come across some landscape/horizontal videos with the audio problem.

                    The audio cuts out at 9 seconds (for all of them) and then comes back for the last 2 seconds (on some of them).
                    Only the last one worked for me without dropping audio, but the audio did jump at 9 seconds for the remaining 2 seconds of the video as the length of it was 11 seconds in total.
                    I guess if the video was 12 seconds long instead of 11, then the 10th second would have dropped out? This seems to be the pattern.
                    Also all of these are mobile videos again (not sure of the operating system but I'll guess it's iOS if they're using TikTok + their age). The operating system is the next thing to find out here and also if any landscape mobile videos have this problem too (still looking for computer uploaded videos too).

                    Edit: At the time of writing this Twitter is flooded with videos of the Notre Dame cathedral fire. All landscape mobile videos seem to be working fine, but some vertical videos aren't. I'm not sure if it's because people are downloading them and reposting them (so Twitter reprocesses the video's audio) or if it's because of the OS the video came from.

                      I tweeted @Twitter about this forum thread. No response as of yet.

                        Ok i'm done waiting for a fix. Been using Opera for years now but it bothers me to open another browser just to watch twitter videos. I'm switching to firefox now

                              @anamelash I can't remember when it was fixed but it's been at least a year.

                              In April 2019 when I had the problem, I was on:
                              Windows 10 Edu (1803) 64-Bit
                              Opera 58.0.3135.127
                              WidevineCDM 4.10.1196.0

                              Now in November 2020, I'm on:
                              Windows 10 Edu (1909) 64-Bit (unable to receive 2004 and 20H2 updates yet)
                              Opera 72.0.3815.207
                              WidevineCDM 4.10.1610.0
