Description of the issue:
Whenever I plug or unplug my headphones into my laptop, Brave (and Chrome since Brave’s a fork of Chromium) crashes immediately, and it ruins my user experience.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Plug in a pair of OneOdio A70 headphones
Expected result:
The browser does not crash at all.
Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.49.132 Chromium: 111.0.5563.147 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Additional Information:
I use a OneOdio A70 headset
Might just mean whatever caused the issue has a fix and you might just have to wait for it. I mean, only other thing for “now” would be to say to Create a new profile in your hamburger menu and see if it happens there. If it doesn’t, then hints to extension, cookies, or setting on your current profile causing it.
But yeah, if Nightly good, chances are just have to hold out for that update to arrive. At least is usually how it ends up working, as annoying as it can be.
Nevermind; Nightly just crashed. For some reason, this time, Brave (release) didn’t crash. This is the ID for nightly btw: 2c560400-2274-db09-0000-000000000000
So much for that. Btw, it’s the weekend right now, meaning no Support until the week begins. I’ll tag @Mattches in here in hopes he’ll see the tag and can check in on you as he kind of catches up to things missed over the weekend.
Man that is a super strange issue! Have not seen or heard of this type of behavior before. I’m forwarding the crash reports to our devs for review. I do have a few additional questions:
Are you on Windows 10 or 11 (I’m assuming Win10)
Does this happen if you unplug any set of headphones from your PC or is it this specific set of headphones?
Any extensions that you have installed in both Release and Nightly at this time?

@jadasse Lmao, umm, that’s a lot of extensions. When you mentioned that it crashes on Chrome as well, are you running those extensions there too? If so, that’s still where we should start.
To quote myself:
You never did mention testing with a new profile, not having extensions running. It might be kind of vital for you to do that. If it doesn’t happen, then you’re going to have to go back and disable extensions, doing one at a time until you find your culprit.
@jadasse,
I’m getting ready to open an issue for this but before I do it would be good to test this in a fresh browser profile as @Saoiray suggests and see if the behavior is the same.
I’d also like to mention that after Brave reopens, upon (un)plugging my pair of headphones, nothing happens. Also, when Brave crashes, all windows of Brave close as well. I may also test upon a window where multiple tabs (that aren’t New Tab) are open.
Sorry you’ve been lost there a bit @jadasse. One of the reasons you see me tag people in all my comments is to make sure it produced a notification. When you just do a generic reply as you just did last, you rely on the idea that people happen to comb across and randomly pick your topic.
I know @Mattches was working with you on it and had crash reports from before. Not sure if he’ll need more info but at least tagged him in on it here and hoping he’ll pop in to follow up with you.
