Help: Video on right of screen auto playing sound

[State43]

still getting sound and clicking the mute button on the video playing doesn't stop the audio from playing.

I have to hit mute twice and it works

That worked for only a few minutes. I also have like 3 of these trailer playing ads at the side of my screen.

Good lord! I just got blown out of my chair after having the window open for probably 30 seconds! First time I've experienced this! I had iTunes Radio streaming in the background on low and then BLAM! That's awful!

The most annoying thing for me is that I usually have multiple CF tabs open, and with three "trailer" videos per tab, i'm clicking like a maniac trying to figure out which one is making the noise...

This is getting ridiculous.

This is getting ridiculous.

Indeed. It's really bad today.

Yeah. It's a Google ad. I've already reported it. HOpefully they take care of it soon.

2 months..... 2 MONTHS....

The ongoing video ad problems were what finally got me to install adblockplus awhile back. CF runs so much better for me now, and i dont come back to the CF tab suddenly taking up 500mb of memory like i used to sometimes.

Getting way worse. I'll only be on the page for like 5 seconds and the damn video goes off. Any way to stop this? Will an add blocker work?

I don't have a cough and I don't need cough drops. Stop this, please.

It's been terrible today. You mute it and 5 seconds later it'll start playing again. Tough to listen to music and surf the CyFan at the same time today.

I wish they would address it and at least give an answer so everyone doesn't start using adblockers and hurt revenue for the site.

This is the correct answer. I just did this, and video is gone.

It is especially annoying because I often have CF tabs open in the background. But yeah. I intentionally don't block ads on this site to support it. But if the autoplay video doesn't stop that is likely to change.

Just did it a moment ago. I've got high hopes.

lol. Just when I this this issue finally stop it comes back. Pretty sad if I have to be here I have to have my computer volume turned off.
