Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1.) Insert code below and open up Dream Seeker
2.) 'This Works' pops up a youtube video on a popup window to play music
3.) 'This Doesnt Work' should still play the music while hiding the window, but instead you can't hear the music
4.) 'Display', thus, also hides sounds associated with the window
