I don't know for certain but here are a few suggestions to test yourself:
1. Try a different browser
If problem persisits then try:
2. Control panel>Hardware and Sound>
and make sure the volume is being played under the mixer or the manage audio devices tab.
If problem still persists:
3. Seek an expert and change the speakers.
Let me know if the problem still persists. I would be very surprised if it did. It could be needing updating of your sound card or something small...I don't know but I am trying to be of some help so let me know. [I may need to ask you something.]

refreshing fixes it, but in live chess the sound continues to cut out on its own, the piece movement sounds just stops. I am using Google chrome and I have tried emptying the cashe several times. it has gotten worse since last week. It used to happen about once a week a mild bug, annoyance.
Now it is now happening in every game i play in... 1/2 way through a 10 minute game, it is very irritating. Suggestions?
