My Question or Issue
Whenever I'm browsing Chrome with Spotify playing, if I go into a website that has a video or audio that is supposed to play, Spotify pauses, even though the video/audio has not started at all, just loaded.
For example, any news website that on a certain article also has its 'video' version of said article, as soon as the page is fully loaded, Spotify stops. Then I have to access the notification tab and press Play on the spotify app again. At the same time, the chrome app shows up with his own audio play/pause notification with the name of the video of the webpage, which i suspect is what is causing spotify to pause.
I disabled Autoplay from chrome, I have disabled the ability of chrome to play audio, but still happens.
Is there any solution?
Edit: I figured that maybe it had to do with chrome notifications from media that were pausing the spotify music, so I blocked all notifications from chrome, and those chrome audio/video notifications don't even show up anymore, but audio still pauses on spotify!
