i can't hear sounds in live chess. i don't hear the beep of a game beginning or the sound of the pieces even though in settings "enable sounds" is checked. i use mozilla firefox. other sounds on my computer work if i were to play a song or something.

When you're playing in live chess, do you have anything else enabled on the computer that uses sound?  like skype or youtube pages?

Normally if  you restart the browser, it should return the sound for you.

bigryoung

thanks, i deleted my cookies and stuff and that worked. maybe i disabled sound in the past and it got stuck that way

bigryoung

well, once more the sound is not working

YooperMan

Hi YooperMan or Bigryoung I have the same problem. Did either of you get yours working? If so what did you do?

YooperMan

I have the latest Safari on iPad.

No sound!? This is main factor for my loss of games. We need sound!

Wow really?  But I have sound on turn-based chess and I still lose.  In fact the only game i've ever won by way of checkmate was live(I was like 2 moves away from checkmate, but my opponent resigned).

FrenchMarie

I won a few more games just now because I moved quickly in 1 minute games, it's very pressuring.

Depending on your settings, that switch will (when set to orange) either mute the ringer or lock device orientation (so the screen doesn't rotate when you turn it).

I have confirmed that if you have "Mute" set as the function of this switch, it WILL mute the audio from our videos. For whatever reason, other media (i.e. from YouTube) does still make sounds. Games don't.
Can you check your settings to see if this is the cause of no sounds on your games?
