I’m now using Brave V1.32.113 on a Mac with Big Sur OS, latest version, and this issue is maddening, and has been ongoing for over a year and half! Whenever I change the volume on any streaming or other video, it stops! This should not be happening, why is it doing this, and why hasn’t this been fixed by now?

## Description
When the `Autoplay` permission is set to `Block` (manually or by default), any interaction with a video player (ex Youtube), such as changing the volume of the video or sometimes jumping forward/backward to certain points in the video will cause the player to halt playback. The user then needs to start the video again manually. Note that this happens every time you go to adjust/interact with the player, not just the first time.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. In Brave v1.18.78 or higher, visit YouTube.com
2. Select a video to play and ensure that `Autoplay` is `Blocked` for YouTube, or that you select `Block` when prompted.
3. Start to stream the selected video.
4. In the player, attempt to change the playback volume and observe playback halted.
## Actual result:
Playback stops after interaction:

## Expected result:
Playback should only be halted on first load (since `Autoplay` = `Blocked`) or if the user pauses the video directly -- not when adjusting video settings.
## Reproduces how often:
Always
## Brave version (brave://version info)
Version 1.18.78 Chromium: 87.0.4280.141 (Official Build) (x86_64)

I’ve added your report to the issue as a +1 on your behalf.
Thanks, but it’s coming on a year already. Is something as basic like this, that difficult to fix? I’d never seen any browser act like this, including Brave, till now, and it’s really annoying, being unable to change the volume without the audio or video stream stopping…
