Bug: Preview for media files is crashing system audio (even without playing the media)Β #17244

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

really like the Preview Pane for images and text files. But the video preview breaks my system audio (it hijacks or crashes my sound when playing videos).

Currently, the only workaround is to disable the Preview Pane completely β€” but that removes image and text previews too, which I still want to use.

πŸ‘‰ Feature request: Please add an option to disable video previews only but keep the Preview Pane active for images, PDFs, text, etc. This would solve the audio issue without losing other previews.

Requirements
