How to stop Safari from buffering videos after closing the tab on macOS Sequoia 15.5?

After updating to the mcOS Sequoia 15.5, Safari now buffers videos after closing the tab preventing my headphones to detect that no audio is being played on my mac and this makes stuck on the mac and not connecting back to my phone if I play a video there. (Screen short is attached)

Sped up audio issues in Safari Whenever I speed up any video (and I assume any audio as well), the audio sounds robotic but this is a problem that doesn't happen on other browsers like Chrome. Is there any way to fix this? I currently have macOS Monterey with Safari version 15.5

safari dosent let YouTube audio play at all whenever I go onto safari to watch a YouTube video, it will play the video, but with no audio. I've checked to make sure that neither the video or the tab itself are muted and they are not. What should I do?

Safari audio not going through headphones Hi everyone, Safari audio (all audio) doesn't come through my headphones, either in Bluetooth mode or with the jack plugged in. It's the only app that behaves this way, and I can't figure out how to fix it. Before it is recommended, yes: I have already checked that the audio settings are correct. Safari is the only app (and the only web browser) doing this. Thanks in advance!
