Many users complain that they don’t play music in Opera. This problem is quite common. Basically, it does not carry any danger to the computer. However, not everyone understands how to proceed if the audio recordings in the browser refused to work. Or, for example, video recordings. What to do in a similar situation? What is needed to get rid of the problem once and for all? The best tips and tricks will be presented later.
Reboot
Can't play music in Opera? The first reason for this behavior could be a normal system crash. Or computer overload. This usually happens when the operating system has been running without shutting down for a long time (several days or weeks). At such moments, many applications begin to "slow down" and "buggy".
What if the browser refused to play music? It is recommended that you restart the application to access the Internet. Better yet, restart your computer. There is some likelihood that this will help. But especially hope is not worth it. Indeed, most often the reasons that music does not play in Opera and other browsers are more serious.
Viruses
For example, computer viruses can become the fault. This malicious software destroys the operating system at the root. It is impossible to predict how the computer will react to one or another infection.
In browsers, video and audio files most often refuse to play, new tabs with ads open, and banners appear. In some cases, working in the Opera becomes simply impossible.
How to fix the situation? It is required to conduct a full computer diagnosis, scan the operating system, find viruses and other malicious files in it, then cure the PC. Everything that did not respond to treatment is deleted directly in the antivirus program. After this, you must definitely restart the computer. Only in this case will the changes come into force.
Once the operating system is cleared of threats and dangerous files, you can start working with the browser. Most likely, music and video will work in full force. Not? So, the reason may be different. What exactly?
"Curve" setting
The next problem is not so common, but it does occur. Notice it is very problematic. The thing is that if music and video are not played immediately after installing "Opera", the reason may be the incorrect installation of the application. It is also sometimes called a "curve." During initialization, a small malfunction occurs, which leads to improper installation and disruption of the program.
Doesn't music play in Opera from the very beginning of the browser installation? Then it is best to remove it and install it again. It is likely that this will help. If the problem is a “crooked” installation, then the method will really work.
Additional programs
But that's not all! There are several other reasons that the music in Opera is not playing. For example, each user should know - for the performance of music and video, you need to install an additional utility. It is called FlashPlayer. Its absence makes it impossible to work with media files in the browser.
Also, music (and video too) will not work if the version of the specified application is outdated. From time to time, the browser itself will offer an update. Refuse is not worth it.
In any case, if the audio and video in the browser (not necessarily in Opera) do not want to work, you need to make sure FlashPlayer is available. If not, install it. If available, update. Did not help? Then you can take advantage of a few more tricks.
Work with the browser
Doesn't music work in Opera? What to do? If all the previously listed methods did not bring any results, it is recommended to work a little with the browser settings. Maybe plug-ins that are responsible for the performance of video and audio are disabled in it?
If so, then the following advice will help: in the address bar, write opera: plugins, then press Enter. In the window that appears, all plugins are turned on, the changes are saved, after which Opera is restarted. Now everything should work.
Registry and location
But not always. If the "Vkontakte" music from other sites is not played in the Opera, it is likely that there is simply no free space on the computer. Or the PC registry is filled with information. This is the most common scenario. Usually, in such circumstances, neither video nor music work. And in all browsers.
The problem is solved simply - the hard drive, especially the partition with the operating system, needs to be cleared of information. And the registry will also need to be freed. CCleaner will help with this. It needs to be installed, launched, click on "Analysis", then on "Cleaning". That's all. As soon as the hard disk space appears, everything will start working. Now it’s clear what to do if the music in Opera is not playing.
