@problemovic Opera GX allows you to choose among a few background music, regular Opera doesn't have such feature.

In both there is the Player in sidebar that allow you to listen to streaming music while browsing.

Someone else reported the same issue in our Discord server, apparently, it's just how the 'auto-pause' feature works. It pauses whatever's playing on the Player whenever it detects another media playing with sound. So, when that media goes silent for a moment, the Player resumes playing.

You can try picking the setting shown in the attached image to at least make it happen less. 8676b035-787c-43ea-b423-1a82b882d1e4-image.png
This will make it so that the Player will resume playing after 5 seconds of silence.

@gabesakes It probably will come when GX reaches the same version of regular Opera.

I came here to post this, And I found it. It will be really cool.

There are already topics discussing about those changes in how Flash is handle in Opera.
