Sound sometimes disappearing

Hi,

I don't know if it's a chrome issue, windows issue or a site issue, but sometimes the sound is disappearing. I think it happens sometimes after I extend my desktop to watch TV with its HDMI audio and then return back to one screen to the computer's speakers, but I'm not sure about it.
Anyway, I find it really distracting playing a game without sounds at all..

Usually I just check if the sound is there before I start playing, by going to one of my played games and reviewing it. If it isn't there, clicking on the Lichess Logo and going to the home-screen usually brings the sound back.
But sometimes I forget to do this. 2 days ago I even agreed to a draw with a +1.5 edge because I had no fun playing like this.
I thought about closing the browser and returning to the game, but I was too afraid the site's cheating mechanism will think I do something suspicious.

Is there any known solution to this? if not, is there a way to restart the browser without it looking suspicious?

thanks.

It happens to me also and mostly when i have poor internet connection

You won't get banned for restarting your browser. However, if you're away from the game for too long, your opponent might be able to claim a win/draw, or you might just flag. I don't recall reading about this specific issue before, so the way I see it, you'd have to troubleshoot it conventionally (trying a different browser, etc.)

@DoTheMath
Are you sure about this?
It will only take a second to restart the browser, so it won't be a problem,
I only just need to be sure if it isn't problematic with the site's mechanism.

You won't get marked as a cheater if you're not cheating. Blur is tracked, but while tabbing, exiting browser, etc. isn't optimal, it won't get you marked in and of itself.

Ok, thank you :)

Usually reloading of the site helps with the sound problem. Sometimes I have to do it 2 or 3 times, but then sound is back.
