Tech How (ID: 000000b954c0eb9b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/31/2023 Works just as expected, really great extension. I've found it to be a bit finicky on Windows sometimes, but works great on other devices. Love that the play/pause buttons on my headphones and function keys now properly control the audio instead of setting it to a "buffering" state or just not working at all. Keep up the good work!
