new player stops Realtek Audio for head phone Windows 11

Since Opera added this new player, I cannot hear any sound in my headphone.
This happened several times. Took me a time to find out.
I have to activate the “Lautsprecher (Realtek(R) Audio)” once again.
This is not so easy.
Today I had to delete the left over “Realtek Digital Output (Realtek(R) Audio)” and to restart my system.
I send a Bug report to Opera.
I am a bit fed up.

@bp-do From what you've described, it seems like the new player in Opera might be interfering with your audio configurations. Here are a few suggestions that might help:
Check Default Playback Device: Ensure that your headphones are set as the default playback device in your sound settings. Sometimes, when devices are disabled or disconnected, the system might revert to a different output.
Update Audio Drivers: Since you've already been working with the Realtek driver, consider checking for any updates directly on the Realtek website, as well as ensuring Windows is fully updated. Sometimes new updates address these kinds of conflicts.
Audio Troubleshooter: Windows has a built-in audio troubleshooter which can automatically detect and fix issues. You can find this by right-clicking the sound icon in the taskbar and selecting "Troubleshoot sound problems."
Opera Settings: Visit the audio settings in Opera and ensure that the correct audio output device is selected. Sometimes browsers save specific settings that can get overridden.
Keep Reporting: Since you've reported this as a bug, keep an eye out for updates from Opera. If it’s a recurring issue, they may address it in a future release.
Hopefully, these steps will help you manage the audio situation until it’s resolved. -

@dravenlocke87 Thank you for your long answer. I have already done all you described.
This morning my Opera One updated. And my headphones are still working. I think opera fixed the bug with the new player although so far I have not received a reply yet.
