Muting (or unmuting) a browser tab is easy. As great as this new feature is, however, it is easy to accidentally mute a browser tab, thereby creating the illusion that the sound has stopped working. After all, nobody enjoys listening to the sound of an ad being played on another browser tab while they are trying to watch a video or listen to music. So what are these new features? Well, Microsoft has given us the ability to mute sound for individual browser tabs. The reason for this is that Microsoft has introduced some new features related to sound, and if not properly configured, those features can be the source of sound-related problems.
Sound-related issuesīefore I get into talking about some of the more general techniques that you can use to fix the browser, I wanted to spend a little bit of time talking about the sound issue. As such, I thought that this might be a good opportunity to write about a few techniques for repairing problems related to the Edge browser.
Namely, the browser lost its ability to play sound, and I ceased to be able to download files. Recently, for example, I installed the latest Windows 10 technical preview and immediately started experiencing problems with the Edge browser. Although Microsoft’s Edge browser normally seems to do a good job, it is not without its problems.
