        User at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/s03cv4/how_do_i_change_the_audio_output_device/ has a problem with a Bluetooth headset. Are your headphones wired or Bluetooth?

            Hit Windows key + r to open the run dialog. Type mmsys.cpl in it and press enter.

            When your headphones are plugged in, on the Playback tab, do you see a green circle with a white check on your headphones device saying that it's the default? If not, set it as the default.

            Also, select your headphones and click "properties". On the General tab, make sure "Use this device (enable)" is selected in the Device Usage drop-down. Also, check the settings on the other tabs in properties. Under Advanced, if the default format is 4ch or 5.1ch or something like that, try changing it to 2ch if possible to see if it helps. If not, change it back to whatever it was by default. Maybe try with enahancements off.

            Make sure to restart Opera each time you make a change to the sound settings.

                @steve8166 Understood. But, I'd check those things just in case Opera is pickier than other browsers. I personally have no problems with wired or Bluetooth headphones in Opera.

                What brand and model sound card/device do you have? What driver version? What Windows version? Are you using Opera Stable or Opera GX?

                Does it happen with all audio in Opera whether it's just some sound file or a Youtube video?

                While Opera is open and your headphones are plugged in, try checking the Windows volume mixer to make sure the Opera-specific volume is turned up.

                              Hi there! I had same problem in last two weeks. I've wireless earphones and it was silent when I wanted to watch Youtube for example. But Spotify app worked like a charm.
                              Solution that worked for me (Win11 Os): Open sound mixer from taskbar (Right click on speaker icon and choose Sound mixer)
                              In Apps section find Opera browser click on down arrow after volume bar and change Output device to Default. Thats it!

                              This worked for me with Xiaomi Buds 3.

                                  @viplayer13 Did you try the things listed about here and here?

                                  In Windows settings, did you try going to "System -> Sound -> Volume mixer" and clicking the "reset" button at the bottom?

                                    I have a similar issue, but it isn't all sound. It's strictly sound from my modded bits, like keyboard sounds, background sounds, and sounds that happen when I open a tab. I can hear things like YouTube, and the Spotify app just fine on my earbuds, but none of the mods that I really want to hear.
                                    I've tried another pair of earbuds; totally different maker, make, and model, and had the same issue.
                                    It's not a huge deal since I can still hear everything else, but I wanna be able to hear the lovely keyboard sound I picked out!
                                    If it helps, the earbuds I've tried are both Bluetooth, and they were Google Pixel Buds, and Sennheiser Momentum TW's.
                                    Thanks in advance!

                                      Do a test. Goto the URL opera://settings/sounds_settings, turn everything all the way up and then click the play button for each. Do you hear anything that way?

                                      What about when you're not using headphones? Can you hear the sounds then?

                                          I have been a longtime user and fan of the Squeezebox / Squeezecenter. I just got a Controller for my setup - and it works great. There is only one thing that does not work: The headphone jack. I have activated the sound on the contoller, and I have updated Squeezecenter to the latest version. I get music to play on the small built in speaker on the controller, but when inserting a headphone nothing happens. No sound on the headphone and music is still played on the built in speaker. Any suggestions? Could there be a defect on the physical switch on the mini-jack? Anyone had the same problem?
