I’m trying to find a good solution to not have a bad user experience when switching tabs. I know the limitations as said in here: [Audio stutters when switching tabs in browser](https://qa.fmod.com/t/audio-stutters-when-switching-tabs-in-browser/15487) but I would like to know what possible solutions I can apply.

Right know I managed to detect the switch of tabs/minimize and then mute the audio but the downside its that its not applied fast (It takes around 1-2s for the audio to mute) and stuttering is heard. Is this the best solution available right now or there is another one that I don’t know of?

Hi - apologies for the delayed response,

I’m able to get WebGL audio to pause immediately on switching tabs using the following `MonoBehaviour` code, which is based on what `RuntimeManager` already does for `OnApplicationPause`:

```auto
    private void OnApplicationFocus(bool focus)
    {
        if (RuntimeManager.StudioSystem.isValid())
        {
            RuntimeManager.PauseAllEvents(!focus);

            if (!focus)
            {
                RuntimeManager.CoreSystem.mixerSuspend();
            }
            else
            {
                RuntimeManager.CoreSystem.mixerResume();
            }
        }
    }

```

Give it a try, and let me know if there’s any issues.
