Windows 10: Why does the Play/Pause button mute audio ?

The Play/Pause button on my keyboard works fine with Spotify but when i'm listening to audio on the edge browser it just mutes it not stop it. Is there a way to fix this ?

Windows 10 mutes Bluetooth audio after Pause button is pressed

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, these suggestions did not solve my problem.

The problem occurs only after pressing pause, when not only the playback of spotifyis paused but the general audio output is muted (although not shown in the volume level in Windows 10).

 

Windows 10 mutes Bluetooth audio after Pause button is pressed

The bluetooth audio in Windows 10 is muted after I press the Pause button (on my keyboard) to pause music (in Spotify). In many cases I do this to pause the music so that I can watch a video on youtube. Is there a way to make sure that only the music is
paused and that the bluetooth audio does not go away?

Thanks in advance.

 

audio keyboard mute button stopped working, Windows 10

If I press the audio mute button on my keyboard I get a "turning blue" circle where my cursor is on screen but the audio from speakers does not mute. If I go to the speaker icon in task bar and mute from there the audio mutes.

I checked audio drivers, as suggested by MicroSoft, they are all up to date.

any ideas why my speaker keyboard mute button does the "blue circle thing" but doesn't mute audio like it used to? Again if I mute speaker from task bar speaker icon, it mutes.
