When I have Spotify running or a Youtube video playing on a different tab, Google Chrome automatically decreases the volume to a very low level. There is no change in the volume mixer, but it is a very distinct change.
This happens when I alt-tab, ctrl-tab or leave the page or tab that has a running sound. There was no problem like this in the past and I can't find any solutions regarding this issue. It would be nice if there was a way to fix this because it is very annoying to not be able to switch tabs without the volume going down.
Are you sure? I tried enabling that setting and it didn't cause the problem described in the question (Chrome 44.0.2403.125 m on Windows 7 Pro SP1). – David Richerby – 2015-08-03T21:31:44.500
