Description of the issue: Sound in videos stopped working after one update this week. Another update came in today, did not fix the problem How can this issue be reproduced?
Any video, YouTube, Bitchute, etc
Already checked Tab mute setting and audio device selection
Sound works in Telegram app videos and System Settings L/R speaker test
could you try to disable all extension and try in private mode and see if it work fine there or not
if it work fine then the issue either with one of the extension or you need to clear your cache
if that did not help could you crate new profile go to menu then choose create new profile and without changing any settings could you see if it work fine there or not
I tried disabling extensions & clearing cache but that didn’t help.
Where to create new profile? On Linux or Brave???
I discovered that on YOUTUBE a sound icon appears next to the extensions icon that allows me to cast video and the audio works on the TV. On rumble, the video works but the audio doesn’t while using the cast function from the drop down menu.
SOLVED The audio is working now.
The problem was that casting needs to be from source Cast Tab.
I doesn’t work when set to cast desktop (which is what I had been using)
I had used the cast desktop to get audio to work when I was using Windows 10. Now that I use Linux, it is the opposite setting needed to get audio to work !
Sound worked on other stuff before but I installed Brave for it’s CASTING feature so only discovered the audio problem at that point.
I tried the new profile (added a name) and that didn’t work. Actually, I don’t know if it worked or not because I was using the wrong CASTING SOURCE.
Today I experienced a problem with casting. I had to toggle back and forth the SOURCE choices to get video and audio to work. It finally did work.
Yes. I did everything you have suggested. Sound was working ever since I started using Brave around the time your advertising postcard came. It stopped when an update installed about a week ago. A second update came in a few days ago, but still no sound.
Oh, how interesting. I didn’t find anything in Audio settings, but I clicked again on the Audio (Speaker) taskbar icon and saw an Applications tab there which shows which applications are playing audio. Since I had already started a video for this testing, I saw Brave (only) on the applications list. It showed Brave’s volume at 100%, but it was grayed out. So I pulled the volume back to 95% and back up to 100% again and the video’s audio started playing. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
