@webdbase Thanks so much, this worked!
Of course it's just a quick temp fix but I'd still like to see Opera address this issue.
Thanks again.
Problem is still there. Has been here for a long time. I honestly wish there was paid version of Opera or bounty programs that would allow us to pay Opera devs so they could fix these huge bugs.
Windows 10 Edu (1803) 64-Bit
Opera 58.0.3135.127 (latest as of writing)

Audio cuts off 9 seconds in. The last 2 seconds can be heard after a second playback: https://twitter.com/xxGodsLastGift/status/1114036356576088064
Tried without ad-blocker
Tried in Opera Beta 60.0.3255.20 (no extensions) (latest as of writing)
Tried in Opera Developer 61.0.3275.0 (no extensions) (latest as of writing)
No flags touched
Tried an new user account, clean profile, same problem
Works in Chrome 73.0.3683.103, Firefox 66.0.2, and Edge 42.17134.1.0 (all latest as of writing)
On these browsers where it works, at 9 seconds the audio jumps in volume and also has a different sound to it as if it changed mics(?)
I tried replacing the files in Opera's WidevineCDM folder (C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\WidevineCDM\4.10.1196.0) with the files from Chrome's WidevineCDM folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\73.0.3683.103\WidevineCdm). Even tried replacing the whole WidevineCDM folder with Chrome's.
Still same problem.
Opera is using WidevineCDM 4.10.1196.0 while Chrome is using WidevineCDM 4.10.1303.2
This is intermittent. Some videos work fine, others don't. The video in the Tweet that I linked above fails every time in Opera and works every time in every other browser.
Twitter (and Facebook?) is almost unusable in Opera with this problem.
There's another thread on this too: https://forums.opera.com/topic/30327/twitter-videos-sound-problem
Description: Ever since introduction in O37, the aspect ratio for video pop-out has been temperamental, broken on and off, and it is still broken as the title says
Steps to reproduce: Open a YouTube video, click video pop-out. Here are a some test videos:
Vertical test video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p5_JRAVzUs
4:3 ratio test video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGCZQuEqsLw
16:9 ratio test video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4DTRggiMCA
Hollywood format 20:9 (movies and trailers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBfsgcswlYQ
21:9 ratio test video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_vR3aW-zRo
Actual result: Video pop-out aspect ratio is not locked (since O41), player has a black border around the edges (since O45), drag to resize begins from the inside of the border (since O45)
Expected result: Video pop-out aspect ratio should be locked when resizing the video, and no border around the video
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
URL: YouTube et al.
Version of Opera: 45.0.2552.812 (PGO) - Stable
I've searched the Blog posts and the Forum and others have had this problem but it's not been fixed (https://forums.opera.com/topic/17888/video-pop-out-scaling-problems-and-crash-with-yt-clips). I've tried disabling hardware acceleration, yet bug persists.

There are probably more I've missed from O37 to O41 and O43 to O45, but the bug is still there and now with 2 new additional bugs as described above. Also notice how some of the entries have the "bugfix" symbol at the end of them. Besides, what does to these entries describe, what the bug is? what was done about the bug? or what is to be done about the bug? It's all too confusing.
Would it be more appropriate to file this here instead?: https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/desktop
Any help would be appreciated but, please, no snarky comments.
Thank You.

In recent updates, the ability remove search box history has now disappeared. Meaning the little x next to each search term is gone. Now I have an annoying list of terms to greet me everytime I click on on a search box on any website.
What's worse is that some search boxes will bring up search terms from search boxes on other websites I've visited. I've searched 'commandos' in Steam, 'Patents' in Google, and 'search history' in Opera Forums.
EVERY search box, on every page, on every website, will show it's own partial list of search term history. How is this possible? Where is this history kept in Opera directories? Why does Opera selectively show search history?
SOME search terms appear from YEARS ago, even if all browser history is cleared. Seriously, in what file(s) is this data bank of search terms located in the Opera directories? (sounds like it's in somewhere related to Profiles if it's persistent across Opera versions and builds).
Can we please get an option to delete search box histories in the Clear Browsing History section?
Thank You.

If you wanna compare two here is a link.
Length : 56 seconds,audio is gone after 9 seconds
https://twitter.com/erdalbiroll/status/1116473516684132352Length : 44 seconds, audio is perfectly fine
https://twitter.com/Red_ZaZa_/status/1116575919215276033
The first video is screencaptured on a mobile (iPhone), also horizontal.
The second video is landscape (manually pillarbox'd), possibly from a computer.
It seems the theory that the problem is with mobile recorded/processed/uploaded videos is looking true.
I'm curious to see if we can come across some landscape/horizontal videos with the audio problem.

The audio cuts out at 9 seconds (for all of them) and then comes back for the last 2 seconds (on some of them).
Only the last one worked for me without dropping audio, but the audio did jump at 9 seconds for the remaining 2 seconds of the video as the length of it was 11 seconds in total.
I guess if the video was 12 seconds long instead of 11, then the 10th second would have dropped out? This seems to be the pattern.
Also all of these are mobile videos again (not sure of the operating system but I'll guess it's iOS if they're using TikTok + their age). The operating system is the next thing to find out here and also if any landscape mobile videos have this problem too (still looking for computer uploaded videos too).
Edit: At the time of writing this Twitter is flooded with videos of the Notre Dame cathedral fire. All landscape mobile videos seem to be working fine, but some vertical videos aren't. I'm not sure if it's because people are downloading them and reposting them (so Twitter reprocesses the video's audio) or if it's because of the OS the video came from.
Do you have the 'Bypass VPN for default search engines' option turned on? If so, that disables VPN for search engines only.

Already spoken of. Try the Suggestion section, you may gather support.
My concern is, if it even takes resources to load the messenger on Opera start up then for sure it should be allow to be removed. If it doesn't and only takes resources to actually load the module when you first click on it in that session then it could stay I guess. But I doubt it's the latter, otherwise notifications won't work without the initial click. Not that they work anyway.
Is 'battery saver' turned on? Animation doesn't work when battery low (or even when your in power saving mode in the system setting).
Is 'adjust speed dial for slower hardware' turned on? Animation doesn't work when low on system resources.
