<![CDATA[Music starts playing on startup]]>I have been using Opera for over a year and suddenly on August 28, 2018, it starts playing some godawful guitar music for over a 1 minute before turning off. I cannot find the source, I have deleted all extensions, ran antivirus, malware scans, even deleted and reinstalled the browser. The only way to stop it is to close opera, but if I launch it starts playing again. What the hell is going on with this browser? How do I fix these issue?

But, glad you got it.

@linear said in Music starts playing on startup:

even deleted and reinstalled the browser

During the uninstall process, if you don't choose to delete your data (your profile), when you reinstall Opera, it'll use the old profile. If the problem is in your profile, it'll still be there after a reinstall.

Is one of them showing the little equalizer animation that indicates it is playing a sound?

Or maybe something on your OS settings.
