If I plug in wired headphones, swap "wired headphones" for "laptop speakers" in any of the description above.
This annoys the heck out of me, as using Brave on other computers (and this one, previously)knocked out the ads. I might be able to tolerate an ad at the beginning of a vid, but, ads interrupting, say, a long relaxing smooth jazz piece are just not tolerable.
Strangely, if it was possible to easily switch this in and out, it could be quite useful: piping different audio from one computer to two different rooms, for example.
Note that I believe this problem cropped up either after a MS update or my beginning to use an EcoCarbon bluetooth speaker. (Regardless of what you think of the name, it's a darn good sounding little speaker.) As it is, does anyone know how to "fix" this problem in Brave? Or Chrome, for that matter, though I'd much rather use Brave.
Thanks!

Good luck!

Hint: Microsoft
When I encountered the problem, I stopped using WiFi with my laptops and desktops, and went with wired Ethernet. The problem is that, in my apartment, I'm surrounded with a large number of WiFi access ports (probably routers) so the sources of interference are out of my control. I don't think you have THAT problem, from your description.
Background: both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz WiFi share the same frequencies. So does your microwave oven. Some portable phones (not just cell phones) use it, too. Lots of opportunities for cross-interference.
Opp... Sorry PROCON.. somehow clicked the wrong reply.

The hardware you have is trying to directly access the hardware, instead of going through the windows api.
I run into this all the time with GPS antennas. Some programs will allow direct hardware calls but some won’t.
In the GPS scenario is to prevent tricking the system into thinking it is somewhere that it is not. Chrome is very sensitive with location data, but others are not. You can use a garmin software with an antenna, but not anything chrome unless it’s an api-compliant driver.
