Mute for tab not working

[voswouter87]

For a long time I regularly muted tabs, however, recently all of a sudden this has stopped working.
I specifically enabled the option "Tab audio muting UI control" from default in opera://flags.
Is there a known bug? Or another way to enable this?

Im having problems with it too after the update. The mute icon is on the tab as usual, I can press it, but it doesnt mute the tab. I have to right click the tab and select Mute.
Same goes with Unmute

Same issue, I guess it's global.

I have the exact same issue, I can no longer mute/unmute my tabs by using the icon.

If I open a second Opera browser then the mute/unmute works there. But I don't want to move my tabs to the new browser window because I'm worried tabs might get lost or that opera won't recognize the new browser window as the main one.

Your have to right click on the tap an select "mute tab". It was so much better just clicking the speaker.

@voswouter87 How to reproduce the issue? I've just checked here and I was able to mute the tab by clicking on the speaker.

@leocg there is no specific steps to reproduce it, it's just a click that doesn't work.
Make sure you are on: 98.0.4759.15 and Windows 11?

@tbo6 Yep,same Opera version and OS here. Clicking on the speaker mutes/unmutes the tab.

@leocg I made a small video: https://gyazo.com/8897f92c83864943fa8231418e678fb9
You can see I'm clicking, nothing happens.

@tbo6 Any difference if you disable all extensions? What about resetting settings?

@leocg I can't do this as this is my working PC but I tried in "Private mode" and interesting the mute is working here.

@tbo6 What means that probably an extension is causing it. Can be also a broken profile.

@leocg Not an extension I just tried without any.

@leocg I disabled extensions in my browser too (I don't have much of them anyway), but it does not work.
What do you mean with the "broken profile"?
It happened right after last update. It was working fine, and after update/restart it does not work anymore...

@tbo6 Then a setting or a broken profile.

@leocg There must be something that Opera has broken since the majority on this thread it doesn't work.

@tbo6 go to opera://update/, click on Recovery and choose the option to keep your data. Check if that helps.

@leocg Opera completely crashed when I tried recovering but the speaker mute is now working. Have to reset all my sidebars.
