Audio gets muted #6

Open VirtualReign opened 1 month ago

VirtualReign commented 1 month ago

Hi.

I'd only just started using the add-on, so I may be missing something, but I've run into the issue of audio being muted when opening new pages with the add-on activated.

So far I'd only tested this on twitch.tv and imdb.com.

The add-on seems to work well initially, but upon returning to the site the audio is muted.

Deactivating the add-on and refreshing the page fixes the issue, and reactivating the add-on after restores the volume setting for that page, however upon closing the page and reopening it, the audio is muted again.

Hi, does this still happen when you give the extension full access to all websites in its permission tab? (Assuming you didn't already). Nevertheless, i will be able to properly debug this issue in a few days, so please be patient :)

VirtualReign commented 1 month ago

Yes, the extension already has that permission enabled.

I'm sorry but i was not able to reproduce this issue. The extension works like expected.

Could you try again in a new private window / clean firefox profile (to be sure that this problem is not caused because of conflicts with other add-ons or bad firefox preferences)?

The issue still occurred for me in private windows. I'd tried disabling some of the extensions that provide similar sound-related functions and the issue persisted.

I currently don't have a separate profile set up, but I might get around to setting one up and gradually adding the extensions I have to see if that's the cause when I have more time on my hands.

Oddly enough, a few months ago someone had a problem which sounds very similar like yours (https://github.com/zWolfrost/Better-Volume-Booster/issues/5#issuecomment-1962198018) on kick.com, and he fixed it by updating his GPU drivers.

I frankly don't believe that's the problem, as I can't think of any way a GPU can mess with an extension like this, but I felt like that was worth pointing out.

Just to be sure, are you using the latest version of the add-on? (1.10.2)
