Same problem here. Its been going on for a while now. It is very distracting during a game. Don't know why they haven't fixed it. I wish the admins would at least address the problem but it doesn't look like they've even acknowledged it yet.

Have encountered a problem a few times within the last few weeks where suddenly sound will not play in live chess. Hardly game-breaking and top priority, but thought I'd mention it all the same. I'm talking sound effects here - the sound when a piece moves, or the squeak when someone offers a rematch. Can be a bit of a pain when you flip to another tab whilst waiting for your opponent to move and are relying on an audio cue to let you know that it's your move again.
