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. -

found the issue:
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.

I do not see that flag/setting anywhere. Any help on this?

@leocg I made a small video: https://gyazo.com/8897f92c83864943fa8231418e678fb9
You can see I'm clicking, nothing happens.It's frustrating when the mute for tab function stops working. Not only can it be disruptive to have multiple tabs playing sound at once, but it can also be distracting and make it difficult to focus. If you're experiencing this issue, try checking your browser settings to ensure that the function is enabled and that there are no conflicting extensions or plugins. Additionally, try clearing your cache and cookies or restarting your browser to see if that resolves the issue. If none of these solutions work, you may need to seek further assistance from your browser's support team or consider using a different browser that supports the feature

@gekamon That's really generic website feature advice, this is a browser issue. And the problem only occurred right after an Opera update without me changing anything to my browser settings. This feature also still works just fine in Firefox.
"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."
Yes, and I never checked it before, so I only checked it when this problem occurred."Clear browser cache and cookies"
Yea, why don't I delete the usability features of my browser? No thanks. I opened Youtube in an incognito window where the feature does indeed work. -
