Note: this is not a request for troubleshooting help.

For the past few years my 10ish year old “smart” TV will maybe once a week or so completely lose the ability to play sound in the Youtube app, and only in the Youtube app. Sound works just fine everywhere else. Bizarrely this is always triggered by an ad and never a video. Restarting the app doesn’t fix it, and neither does clearing the cache. Fortunately doing a full restart of the TV fixes it, it’s just irritating to have to restart because an ad somehow broke the sound.

What technological gremlins haunt you?

    Arlec smart socket with Bluetooth hub. Sometimes turns on again just after the turn off request from the door sensor automation.

    Also when wireguard is on, all http requests for external sites on any client machines redirect back to my own Web server. All other traffic (https etc) is unaffected.
