Opera Just Went Silent

[OriginalGriff]

Does anything else play audio, or is it just Opera? In Chrome, sites are / can be muted by default - is it possible that Opera has just caught up to that? Try right clicking the tab and see if there is an "unmute site" option. Have you checked which audio output is in use? Mine recently switched from USB (headphones) to jack (soundbar) for no obvious reason (though I suspect the cat did it because I wasn't giving him food when he wanted it) which confused me until I switched it back.

Other audio applications work; Goldwave is perfect. Microsoft Edge plays the exact same video clips (same URL and everything) just fine. Opera just went silent in the past 24 hours for reasons I don't know.

Oh boy, using your question as a prompt/inspiration, I used the Opera Help thing (I think) and asked about "Sound" Got this...

How do I fix video playback issues - image, video or sound doesn’t work or works badly?:

That usually indicates a GPU problem. Check the drivers for your graphics card. You can also try enabling or disabling the Hardware Acceleration function. Go to Settings > Advanced > Browser > System and enable Use hardware acceleration when available.

With another Link that I can click to, "...*Read more about crashes and issues*..." I am highly suspicious that this would be barking up the wrong tree, as everything was okay 36 hours ago

Does the volume mixer show Opera at the same level as the rest of the programs?

Have you considered using the built in browser? Again, I hear someone saying;

Yes, the movie was a tad before my time but it's a good one.

DUH ! You fixed it. Of course, I had to use my Super-IQ-Genius brain to find the mixer in the first place; honestly, I do not remember how I made it appear on my screen. Thank you Microsoft for adding yet another IQ test obfuscation to make things idiotically more difficult. Whatever, whatever, I now advocate David O'Neil for president of the USA

Yeah, the Microsoft Edge Browser ! What a great idea ! That's better than using a Google designed whatever-they-call-theirs

The question remains in my mind: When did I change that ? Or perhaps, even more relevant: How did that setting change ? I don't remember ever looking at it; certainly not in the past week or two.
