Audio from video play continues even when tabbed out
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In-game video? Or is this the same issue with Steam overlay playing audio while not open?

no clue what the Steam overlay issue is

With or without the noPauseAudio startup parameter?

-noPauseAudio is not set/used
just -window and -noPause (removing either or both still plays the audio)

Are you running exe with -nopause option?

just -window and -noPause (removing either or both still plays the audio)

this is how it should behave

@BIS_fnc_KK as written it happens for both -noPause used or not used

plus according to BIKI:

-noPauseAudio
Keeps audio running in background while tabbed out. Should be used together with -noPause to work correctly

so by default audio should not keep running - only if -noPauseAudio is used too

its a video stream - video +audio, it is not handled separately

@BIS_fnc_KK so basically in other words the audio of the video play cannot be influenced?

not sure, need to investigate, all I can say this is not a bug it is working as intended now
