Troubleshooting technical issues is much easier when both the user and support agent practice clear communication. For this reason, we have provided the template below for you to fill out with information about your issue. Please provide as much detail as possible so we can most efficiently resolve your problem.
Description of the issue:
When visiting a site with audio or video, unless the audio or video is manually stopped, closing the tab allows the sound to continue playing while browsing or even when no tabs are open.
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Visit a site with audio or video
- Play audio or video
- Do not pause/stop audio or video
- Close tab
Expected result:
All audio and video would stop once the tab is closed.

Mobile Device details
iPhone 15, 256GB, iOS 18.3
Additional Information:
@vanillaspice can you please try launching Brave and going to Menu --> Settings --> Media
and toggle Background audio
“off” and test to see if the issue persists?
Note that the audio should stop when a tab is closed even if background audio is toggled “on” — but I’m curious to see if there is any issue with the setting. Additionally, can you confirm that this occurs with any site playing audio? How many have you tested?
Interestingly, background audio was already off and the behavior is not consistent. I noticed it yesterday but have not been able to reproduce it today.
When you do reproduce the issue, please take note of the specific site you were on that was playing audio so we can test on our end.
NSFW pr0n. Here’s a deeplink that reproduces the problem.

@vanillaspice please find another link that is not on a porn site and I’ll be happy to take a look.
I will try to reproduce the problem from other sites. In the meantime, I wonder if it’s a background audio setting in Flowplayer or Wowza Video.
