Win 10 Audio
I am using Win 10, and I have an audio issue!
I often have several Chrome browser windows open at one time. On occasion I want to listen to the audio, albeit from just one selected site. When I turn my speakers on, I often learn that Some Other site is already playing (unwanted) audio Can I prevent All sites from using my speakers, until I specifically select that site for playback? How? |

[Chrome] Win 10 Audio
Another interesting extension for Chrome to do with the
subject... Video Speed Controller The logic for controlling speed is great. I use all four shortcuts A, S, D, and V. A = 0 speed (for stopping the video without bringing up the progress bar) It works outside of YouTube too. You can trick videos into not playing just by pressing the A key. They might think they're playing, but subsequent HTML videos will start at 0% speed. A few weeks ago, I started using its built-in shortcuts for forward and backward steps in a YouTube video. Works great. Those shortcuts for advance/retreat, unlike the arrow keys, do not pull up the progress bar. I just wish it had an additional pair of controls for larger steps forward/backward. Instead, we must use the built-in Chrome shortcuts (Page up, Page down) for one minute jumps, and they are picky about focus (you must be on the timeline). That extension works no matter where you are (where the focus is) on the YouTube video page. If your focus is on the right while scrolling down the video preview icons, you can still stop the video by pressing A without changing focus from the right side. |

When I turn my speakers on, I often learn that Some Other site is already playing (unwanted) audio Can I prevent All sites from using my speakers, until I specifically select that site for playback? How? There is an internal Chrome option to have a volume control per tab. 1. Go to chrome://flags in a new tab 2. Search for the "Enable tab audio muting UI control" flag 3. Hit the "Enable" link 4. Relaunch Chrome when prompted. There are also plugins like this. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3126...list-them.html Anybody who wants to irritate you by playing audio, will have a thousand different domains and rotate them on a daily basis. So it's not like whack-a-mole actually works or anything. The tricky part comes when a web page has *two* sources of audio. Say, a Youtube video and a cranky background audio source. The "control per tab" method cannot help with that. You need a "control per content thread" for something like that, which isn't going to happen. Muting all the sound, is the only practical alternative. And using youtube-dl so you can save the videos for later and enjoy them *outside* of a browser. Paul |
