@werbatim Sometimes when you have an old profile directory, things may get kinda messed up as the updates (and its changes) happen. Most of the times, just resetting the settings help, but there may be occasions that may demand the creation of a new profile directory.

@leocg The recovery option fixes the issue initially, but after readjusting settings (by manually doing it through Opera) and restarting the browser it bugs out again (without any extensions enabled). Not sure exactly what causes it. Too much of a hassle for me to reset everything again to locate the issue though.
I just did: Recover > Sound control worked (without restarting browser) > Adjusted my settings and cookies/logins > Restarted browser (tabs disappeared) > Went through the "first time setup" wizard > Reopened my tabs from saved folder > Then sound control was bugged again when I tried using it
My extensions were enabled at some point in between all of that, but disabling them doesn't work now.
It might be something Opera updates on restart, perhaps with certain nonstandard settings set. Regular tabs are affected. It works correctly in private tabs with the same settings and my usual extensions enabled.
Browserjs is also jank in this version, and has to be disabled on restart for certain sites to function.

Updated to v98.0.4759.39 from today's update and can confirm the issue is still happening.
Also can reproduce what @pow1 mentioned, when the tab is pinned, the tab muting works but not when the same tab is unpinned. -

its the "activate workspaces" option (sorry unsure about the name cause my browser settings are in german "Arbeitsbereiche aktivieren")
if i deactivate this option it works again
upon reactivation the tab mute by icon refuses to work -

@sternix Thanks, I may have found the setting as "Enable Workspaces" and I included a screenshot of the location (check the scrollbar). However, this hasn't affected the tab mute behavior. I also don't have a right mouse button click menu. I rebooted Opera. Maybe I have to also reboot Windows? Will be doing that later.

Ensure the flag is enabled: Double-check that the "Tab audio muting UI control" flag is still enabled in the browser's settings. Sometimes browser updates or changes can reset certain flags, so it's worth verifying if it's still active.
Clear browser cache and cookies: Clearing the cache and cookies of your browser can sometimes resolve issues with browser functionality. Try clearing the cache and cookies, then restart your browser and see if the tab muting functionality starts working again.
Disable extensions: Some browser extensions or add-ons can interfere with certain features or cause conflicts. Temporarily disable any extensions you have installed, restart your browser, and check if muting tabs works. If it does, you can try enabling the extensions one by one to identify the culprit.
Update your browser: Ensure that you have the latest version of your browser installed. Developers frequently release updates that address bugs and improve overall performance. Updating to the latest version might resolve the issue you're experiencing.
Try a different browser: If the problem persists, you can try using a different browser to see if the tab muting functionality works there. It will help determine if the issue is specific to your browser or if it's a more widespread problem.
If none of these steps solve the problem, I recommend reaching out to the support channels of your specific browser (such as the Opera support forums or help center). They will have more detailed information about any known bugs, troubleshooting steps, or potential workarounds for the issue you're facing.
Remember to provide as much detail as possible when contacting support, including your browser version, operating system, and any other relevant information that could assist them in diagnosing and resolving the problem.
I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue and regain the ability to mute tabs in your browser.

@gekamon said in Mute for tab not working:
Tab audio muting UI control
I do not see that flag/setting anywhere. Any help on this?
