How to stop audio playing on websites loaded in webView?

How can I stop the audio of a video that is playing on a website in a webview after I have left the Activity? In other words, lets say I have both Activity A and Activity B. I load up a website in Activity B that is playing a video, and then press the back button to go to Activity A. My experience is that the sound continues to play while on Activity A. How can I stop this audio?

I am not doing anything special with displaying the webpage, I use a webView

<WebView
        android:id="@+id/fl_container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

And I declare the following settings

flContainer = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.fl_container);

        flContainer.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        flContainer.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
        flContainer.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
        flContainer.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());

I then display a website that has a video in it and play the video. After pressing the back button the audio continues to play. How can I stop this as there is no mediaPlayer to destroy or anything like this? Thanks in advance!

Either destroy the previous webview as this one will continue running in the background by default, or change the player element to something else.
