open a tap play audio close the tab and audio will continue to play the only way to fix this is to close brave or to play something else in brave
My December 2024 report of “an audio ghost” (at, what I considered a possibly related) issue:
Youtube links opened in background tabs start autoplaying despite autoplay being off - #7 by 289wk
Recently, there has been debate about, what audio should, or should not, persist in the background.
Some Brave Browser users want to visit a website that plays music, select a tune, then visit other websites or use other apps, while still listening to the music - AND have that music continue to play, to persist, even though they have closed / exited / quit Brave Browser.
Some Brave Browser users do not want the audio to persist.
Brave Support is aware if the issue.
