How can I enable per-tab audio stream separation in Microsoft Edge on Linux?

I am using Microsoft Edge 131.0.2903.112 on Ubuntu 24.10. I want each browser tab to appear as a separate audio stream in pavucontrol, allowing me to manage the output of individual tabs independently.

I have already tried modifying the .desktop file to include the --enable-features=AudioServiceSandbox flag.

None of these attempts provided true per-tab audio stream separation. Currently, all tabs are grouped under a single stream in pavucontrol.

System Information:

  • OS: Ubuntu 24.10
  • Audio: PulseAudio (or PipeWire, depending on the recommendation)
  • Edge Version: 131.0.2903.112

What I need:

  • A native way to separate audio streams by tab or any workaround to achieve this functionality. Now they are all combined and showing under Microsoft Edge

    Good day, thanks for your question. Currently, there is no built-in or native feature in Microsoft Edge on Linux to enable per-tab audio stream separation. This feature is not commonly supported across browsers on Linux and therefore it will be best to provide a feedback to the team that is working on Edge from the browser itself and hopefully this will be available in future update release.

    Regards,
