Hello,

darned Firefox blocks audio device even when no sound is or should be played. And there is not a single option to disable it! I use Tidal in exclusive device mode. Tidal gives error "Device is in use by a different user, device or service". The problem first appeared a few days ago.

  • Firefox 78.0.2 64-bit
  • Windows 7 SP1
  • HD audio device with Microsoft driver
