How to adjust audio settings in Brave.

Introduction

Brave is renowned for its speed, privacy features and built-in ad blocker, but users often want fine-grained control over audio playback. Whether you need to mute notifications, adjust per-site volume, or disable autoplaying videos, Brave provides several mechanisms to manage sound. This article explains how to adjust audio settings in Brave across different platforms, explore advanced flags, and troubleshoot common audio issues.

Accessing Brave’s Audio Controls

Brave’s audio controls are mostly located under Site Settings. From here you can allow or block sound globally and on a per-site basis.

1. Open Brave Settings
   • Click the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the browser.
   • Select “Settings” from the dropdown.
2. Navigate to Site Settings
   • In the left sidebar, click “Privacy and security.”
   • Select “Site and Shields Settings” then “Additional content settings.”
   • Choose “Sound.”
3. Adjust Global Sound Behavior
   • Toggle “Allow sites to play sound” on or off.
   • If toggled off, no site will play audio unless explicitly allowed.

Muting or Allowing Specific Sites

Per-site sound permissions let you keep audio enabled for some sites while muting others.

1. Under Sound settings, scroll to “Customized behaviors.”
2. Click Add next to “Allowed to play sound” or “Muted.”
3. Enter the site’s URL (for example, https://example.com) and click “Add.”
4. To remove a rule, click the trash icon next to the site entry.

Quick Mute via Tab Icon

You can instantly mute or unmute a tab without entering Settings.

• Locate the speaker icon in the active tab.
• Click the icon to toggle mute on that individual tab.
• This change persists only for that browsing session.

Advanced Audio Configuration with Flags

Brave uses the same underlying engine as Chromium, so you can enable experimental audio features via chrome://flags.

Important Flags

To access flags:

1. Type chrome://flags in the address bar.
2. Search for the flag name.
3. Select “Enabled” from the dropdown menu.
4. Restart Brave to apply changes.

Controlling Autoplay and Muted Playback

By default, Brave blocks autoplaying videos with sound. You can refine this behavior per site:

1. Go to Settings → Site and Shields Settings → Sound.
2. Under “Customized behaviors,” add sites to Allowed or Muted lists as needed.
3. Alternatively, right-click on any video element, choose “Unmute site” or “Mute site.”

Note: Autoplay policies may vary by version. Always keep Brave updated to benefit from the latest enhancements.

Using Extensions for Advanced Volume Control

If you need per-tab volume sliders or audio visualization, use a dedicated extension.

• Visit the Brave Web Store or Chrome Web Store.
• Search for “Audio Equalizer” or “Volume Master.”
• Click Add to Brave, then pin the extension for quick access.
• Use the extension’s interface to boost or cut frequencies, adjust gain and balance.

Troubleshooting Common Audio Issues

• No Sound in Brave:
  • Check system volume and mute settings.
  • Verify Brave’s global sound toggle is enabled.
  • Ensure the tab isn’t muted via the speaker icon.
• Audio Stuttering or Lag:
  • Disable unnecessary flags like experimental web audio unless needed.
  • Close background tabs or other applications hogging CPU.
  • Update your audio driver or operating system.
• Autoplay Not Working:
  • Check site-specific overrides in Sound settings.
  • Verify autoplay-policy flag is set to your preference.
  • Whitelist the site if it’s blocked globally.

Conclusion

Mastering Brave’s audio settings enhances your browsing experience, whether you’re blocking noisy ads, fine-tuning per-site volume, or enabling advanced audio features. Use the built-in Site Settings for quick control, explore chrome://flags for experimental tweaks, and install extensions for professional-grade adjustments.
