Default 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?

Default [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.

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.

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.
