Sound cuts off when leaving the tab (youtube for example)

Hello,

I've had this problem for a few days (automatic update?), if I'm listening to YouTube and switch to a tab with multimedia content like my Facebook timeline - not even loaded or played, including with the sound of that tab turned off! - sometimes the YouTube video cuts off automatically. I have to go back to hit play.
Very annoying if I want to listen to music.

Is this a new YouTube blocking feature? (like ads that stop when you leave the tab)
Is there a way to avoid this? Thanks!

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 58.0.3029.81

    Hello, I also have exactly the same problem; as soon as I open a new tab, the sound is turned off, and whenever I change YouTube video, the sound turns off as well, and I have to reactivate it every time...
