\"Sound<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you’re having problems with sound on some web pages when using macOS\u2019s Safari (or simply don\u2019t want to hear audio on a particular web page) the web browser lets you mute audio in any open tabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re viewing a tab that\u2019s not playing audio, there\u2019s no Audio button in the Smart Search field is white with a blue outline. If the tab is playing audio, the Audio button is solid blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Screenshot<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To mute audio in the tab you\u2019re viewing, click the Audio button  in the Smart Search field. The blue button will turn white (well, white-ish) with a line drawn through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Screenshot<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re viewing several websites that are playing audio, Option-click the Audio button  in the Smart Search field to let audio play in the tab you\u2019re currently viewing and mute the audio in other tabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re viewing a website that\u2019s not playing audio and other tabs are playing audio, click the Audio button in the Smart Search field to quickly mute all audio in other tabs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mute any tab, lick<\/g> the Audio button on the right side of the tab in the tab bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To see websites playing audio, click and hold the Audio button in the Smart Search field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Screenshot<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can choose a website to go to the tab where the audio is playing. If you\u2019re viewing a website that\u2019s not playing audio, the list of open websites also includes the Mute All Tabs option. If it is playing audio, it includes the Mute This Tab or Mute Other Tabs option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To unmute audio, click the muted Audio button in the Smart Search field, or on the right side of the tab in the tab bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(By the way, I tested this on macOS Catalina. There could be slight differences in other versions of the operating system.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
