<![CDATA[Opera GX keeps changing YouTube volume and it's driving me nuts]]>
  • Windows 11 up to date
  • Opera GX latest version
  • Opera in 2nd display, with a YouTube video playing in popout
  • Playing games on main display (Destiny 2 and Titanfall)

    • Volume of the YouTube video in popout player keeps getting lowered to ~ 20%, when usually I keep it anywhere from 50-80%. I don't have any extension related to audio AFAIK (only Raindrop and 1Password installed).

    While I do have a Hollow Knight mod pack to change the theme and add various browser sounds, this still happens even if I disable that mod. This is driving me nuts, and Opera's stupid ChatGPT help but is utterly useless. Anyone know what's going on?

Annoying as f***.

I just tested this in Chrome as well and it doesn’t happen. This really seems to be an exclusively Opera problem and entirely unintended behavior. Where else is a volume slide expected to randomly change up or down after the user sets it to a specific place?

    I'm having trouble finding documentation from Youtube concerning the popout volume normalization. The best I can find is folks mentioning in passing that it will lower the volume under certain conditions for music.

    Can you point us to the Youtube documentation you're referring to?

And it doesn't behave this way in Safari or Firefox. Volume stays wherever I set it. This feels like a bug in Opera, wouldn't you think?
