Use case description
If in a tab a sound is played a little sound icon appears next to the tab title. When no further sound is played in the tab, the sound icon remains visible for around 4 seconds until it fades away.
If now a new sound is played, the sound is not directly noticeable. Only after ca. half a second the sound is noticeable.
The problem
Consider player a board game, where every 5 seconds a move is made and a click sound appears. With the describes behavior from above, you would never hear the sound. Also, when a sound is started playing, the first half second is not played.
Feature request
A: Create the possibility to never fade out any sound on a specific tab. Then the sound of that tab would always be played.
B: Create an option in which the user can specify the time interval, after which the tab is automatically being muted.
Not only do i notice a delay in sound anytime i unpause (especially when using a bluetooth speaker) but I saw that many asked for the sound icon on the tabs to be removed and still havent been and its inconvenient? it would be one thing if it was a play/plause button, but muting sound, on a tab, isnt something ive ever needed and i keep accidentally pressing it when i try to switch tabs so its actively a nuisance. Please fix this!
Can you share a practical example of this behavior so I can test on my end? I’m not sure I fully understand/see the same behavior that you are seeing.
Hi Mattches,
thank you for the reply. I experience this issue playing chess. If you go to the following page:
This is a chess game that was played. You can cycle though the moves via the buttons on the right hand side.
Whenever you make a move, a sound should be played. If you cycle though the moves quickly, all sounds are correctly played. However, if you wait for approximately 5 seconds and trigger the next move, no sound is played, because the tab was muted in the meantime.
Please let me know if you cannot reproduce this with this site, then I can figure out another way of reproducing this issue.
