Hi everyone.

I've been having a problem for a long while now, and that is i can't seem to make sound work on my Sidebar. Like for example, whatsapp plays videos with no sound, same as audio messages (no sound), instagram also not working neither on videos nor stories (no sound also).
I've searched far and wide for a solution but i can't find any!
I've tried the usual suspects like disabling everything, loading a clean profile, and even just plain 100% clean uninstall and reinstall, but nothing works.

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers!

Ist you should have updated version of Opera. Open Opera and right-click on the volume icon in the systray, and open the volume mixer. Now, turn the volume for Opera.

@naheed That's not it. It's the first thing i tried. That's like telling me "close Opera and open it again". If you read my post i clarified everything i did.

Cheers!

OS: Windows 10
Opera GX version 72.0.3815.454

When using the WhatsApp icon on the sidebar, it takes a little while to load (which doesn't happen on the other Opera) but the main thing is: All audios will play with no sound! I have checked absolutely everything I could but the only temporary fix is to close the browser and re-open it, but when I turn on my computer again the next day or when I close the browser and open it again, same issue and same temporary fix, having to do this every day 2-3 times is seriously annoying.

I've seen some people mentioning that Instagram has the same issue although I wouldn't really know since I don't use it.

Send help!!

PS: Please add the Music Player feature! Completely I mean (not experimental)
