Why did my music start playing again while I was away?

Asked by CuriousGamer92
I was using Fedora with KDE when I paused my music to run to the kitchen. When I got back, the music had started playing again. I'm wondering if this means I've been hacked or if it's just a coincidence. I checked things but maybe not thoroughly enough. I'm using Google Chrome to stream music from YouTube. By the way, I unplugged my in-ear monitors (IEMs) earlier because I usually leave them in all day. When I returned, I plugged them back in, and I also had CS2 running. Has this kind of thing happened to anyone else?

Sounds like it might just be a glitch or maybe your cat accidentally hit the keyboard while you were away! Iโ€™ve got KDE Connect set up so my music pauses for calls and resumes automatically, and sometimes it resumes when Iโ€™m not even near my PC. Iโ€™ve accidentally hit play while wearing earbuds before too, it's super easy to do. By the way, whatโ€™s an IEM?

IEM stands for in-ear monitor. It could be that you accidentally pressed play or maybe even a weird bug in your software. It happens sometimes, so I wouldn't worry too much unless you notice it happening frequently.
