Audio stops when switching videos — only comes back after restarting Brave (works fine in Chrome)

Hi, I’m having a repeating audio issue in Brave.

The first video I play (for example on YouTube) has sound, but when I switch to the next video, the audio completely disappears. The only way to get sound back is to close Brave entirely and reopen it — then it happens again after the next video.

When I try the same thing in Google Chrome, everything works fine and the sound never disappears.
