Is it possible to play audio or link to audio in a PDF in a Firefox webpage? I can't get a handle on this. Perhaps someone has some idea?

I tried using a form button that opens a weblink to MP3 or embedding a WAVE file. In each case the buttons are disabled in Firefox but works fine in Chrome.

Hi dannywg, the novapdf.com example doesn't work for me because it always generates the Open/Save/Cancel dialog.
I don't know about embedded media; I didn't realize PDFs had that feature. But the links in the following PDF work both in the Firefox 19 PDF Viewer and the Adobe Acrobat plugin: http://www.jeffersonscher.com/gm/Google-Hit-Hider-by-Domain_About_v150.pdf
'''Edit: Actually, I see a difference between the PDF Viewer and the Adobe Acrobat plugin.''' Adobe's plugin lets you click certain URLs that were not intentionally coded as links in the document (e.g., the URL in the footer). Firefox's PDF Viewer apparently does not have that feature (yet).
'''Edit: I don't know whether this feature will be added.''' Firefox doesn't treat text URLs in web pages as links. Add-ons such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/linkification/ Linkification] have been created to do that. No idea whether it works in the PDF Viewer.

    My mac desktop will not provide sound from internal speakers.  When I go to audio devices window it only shows airplay.  How can I get internal speakers back.

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
    7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/Audio
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?

    I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?

    "I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R"
    How? Using what equipment/software?
    "The DVD  plays on the device on which it was recorded."
    Just a guess: You're using a VCR-DVD combo recorder. DVDs produced in this way will play on the device that made them, but won't play on anything else until they're "finalized." In fact, Macs will recognize unfinalized DVDs as blank discs until the discs are finalized. Check the manual that came with the recording device for instructions.

  • Is it possible to play audio and video files(urls) directly in webView ?

    Hello Everybody,
    I have implemented one article page in webView. The content of the that page is html file. There are some links for audio and video files. Is it possible to play that links directly in that webView by clicking them?
    Or is there any other way to play this files?
    Any kind of information on this topic is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Pandit Pakhurde

    Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else.  If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
    I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works.  If it doesn't, it doesn't.

  • How can I get my iPod to play noise when it says my headphones are in but they arnt and I can't get it to play music with out my headphones in ?

    How can I get my sound to play my iPod says my headphones are in all the time and they arnt so it will only play sound when my headphones are in

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem..
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

    I have purchased music that is on ipad and plays but is not in libary on pc as i cleared hard drive to portable backup ?how can i get back ? and sync ipad without losing it al ?

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

  • Possible to play audio while fetching data in CVP Call Studio?

    Hi, CVP 8.5. We have an action element that fetches account data from a backend. The customer would like to play some audio while this operation is going on, to better indicate to the caller that things are working as they should. Is this possible to do?

    Yes, you need to add a "fetchaudio" property to a voice element placed immediately before your long running action. Details here: http://developer.cisco.com/web/cvp/forums/-/message_boards/view_message/2641915

  • Play audio into to pdf on browser

    As possible to hear the audio on a link into to pdf file opened by the same browser?
    Possibly via a plugin?
    help me please!

    If you're asking whether Adobe Reader or Acrobat can play an audio file downloaded on demand from a web URL, then yes - just create a "sound" rich media annotation in Acrobat, and enter the URL into the dialog box instead of browsing for a file.

  • "Ads by StartNow" is playing their audio over the top of my YouTube videos & I can't get it to stop!

    Pop-up ads' sound tracks are playing on top of my video's soundtracks when I play anything on YouTube.  I've tried changing Adobe settings and now I Click "deny" on my Adobe Flashplayer Settings window, but it does absolutely no good.  The advertiser "Ads by StartNow" still continues to play the sound of their advertisement (loudly) on top of my video soundtrack.   [I run a PC with XP(s.p.3)]  Help!

    You're infected with "Adware". Flash isn't the cause, it's the vehicle being used to deliver the ads.
    You need to do a throrough malware scan.

  • I accidentally deleted a history link that enables "friends" to be listed in Farmville. How can I get it back?

    I was deleting a link in the history list that enabled a specific gift claim in Farmville when I was installing Firefox 4. It apparently deleted the whole link for gifting and the listing of friends in Farmville and in Dragons of Atlantis. I cannot play these games fully without having access to my Facebook Friends who are also playing these games. It did not effect the same feature in Kingdoms on Camelot. How can I restore the friends link in the other two games? I told the history to "forget" the specific link for one specific gift claim. There were other links in the history list that I did not touch.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I don't think you actually deleted any fonts. The missing fonts are Truetype fonts originally installed with Microsoft Windows XP. The website probably was optimized for Windows XP and Internet Explorer some time ago. These fonts were never part of Mac OS X.
    NOTE: My answer does not address font licensing issues if you do not own a Windows XP computer!
    If you have a XP computer, you can locate and copy those font files from the Windows computer to a flash drive, eject it, put the flash drive into your Mac, open it in Finder, and click on each ttf filename, one at a time. They should automatically open in in a window similar to this one for the Orbitron font:
    Click the Install Font.
    Repeat this for each of the four ttf files, and you are done.
