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. -

@voswouter87 ( Yeap The PIN TABS Is what fixed my mute button ! )
I unpinned the 4 tabs I had "pinned" and the mute started working immediately.
No reboot or anything .. thanks for the tip! -

I have about 15 pinned tabs and that since years. It's absolutely no option for me to unpin them, then I would rather give up on the tab not being mutable.
For me, disabling multiple workspaces does the trick but here again, I need this.
Still waiting for a fix and I am wondering why this is taking so long for Opera as I doubt this is a hard thing to fix. -

Not working for me as well.
Tried Recovery and it worked for a day and then stopped working again.
Also tried the "Tab audio muting UI control" flag. Nothing changed.
The only thing that I didn't do was disable extensions since I prefer them to not having mute tab working.If I pin a tab then I can mute that tab and all tabs from the same site that I open after. If there's already a tab from that site opened before the pin that opened tab won't work.
Still works after unpin the tab if I keep at least 1 tab from that site open. When I close all tabs from that site then the mute stop working again and I have to pin a tab.
Pin tabs won't affect tabs of other sites. -

@voswouter87 It's a bug, so submitting a feature request doesn't make any sense.

Same problem here.
What I found out is that the mute button seems to work but mutes wrong tabs. Might also be trying to mute non existing tabs as sometimes I can’t find one that is muted.
The problem seems to occur mostly while using several workspaces. I also had the problem between tabs in a single workspace but couldn’t replicate it.
Replicating the problem between workspaces is easy. I just open tabs in workspace 1 and in workspace 2. While I can mute the tabs in workspace 1 the tabs in workspace 2 either mute a tab in workspace 1 or no tab at all.System:
Opera GX LVL4 (core: 98.0.4759.56)
Update stream: Early Access
System: Windows 11 64-bit
