I never had this issue with any previous MacOS version. In short - I can't listen to the music on my external bluetooth speakers while browsing the internet at the same time in Safari. For some reason, the sound output gets cut off when switching between tabs or loading up random websites. Songs keep playing in iTunes but there's no volume. Sometimes, if I close the tab - sound is back and sometimes nothing helps until I disconnect/reconnect the speakers. But then the sound gets cut off again if I switch over to Safari (usually with Facebook page open there).

My setup: MacBookPro 13" early 2011 in closed lid mode with an external Acer LCD via thunderbolt and external bluetooth speaker (some Chinese brand). MacOS High Sierra.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Same setup worked flawlessly with previous versions of MacOS and the same bluetooth speaker works well with any of my iOS devices.
