No sound from youtube on select Tabs

I have a set of different youtube tabs open. The first five tabs all play sound perfectly normal. However, the sixth tab refuses to play anything. When I'm looking in another tab while letting that video play, it pops out like normal but marks the audio as muted and refuses to let me unmute the video. When I go back to the tab that should control it, the main video on youtube shows it's unmuted. I have already tried muting and unmuting that tab and I have already looked into the volume mixer settings. I thought maybe the audio got pulled because of it just being youtube, but no. I can get audio in other browsers. How do I fix this?

Turn off the battery saver at the URL opera://settings/batterySaver and disable any limiters you have enabled in the GX Control sidebar panel. Then, restart Opera to see if there's any difference.

If no go, try disabling your mods and extensions one by one at the URLs opera://mods and opera://extensions and test to see if one is causing it.

Besides that, see https://reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/1d1vjal/youtube_issues_ads_no_sound_skipping_performance/ if you're using Opera's adblocker.
