Audio in browsers

I am making a website with iWeb. All perfect except for one thing.
I have inserted music on the main page with no problem. The icon shows up fine and I have it the size I want it in the place I want it.
I then save the site and publish it to a folder on my computer to test it.
When I open the the page in Safari, it is all there: the music, the controller, etc.
But when I open the page in Firefox, there is no music or controller. I have the latest Quicktime plugin installed on Firefox.
Has anyone had this problem and, more important, can anyone tell me what the problem or solution is?
Thanks.

Firefox should ask you if you want to load the QuickTime plugin.
This is a good example of why QuickTime is not the best way to play audio on a web site. Imagine what its like for all those using Internet Explorer on a PC running windows.

  • No Audio in Browsers

    Hi I'm getting no sound from my laptop in IE, Chrome or Mozilla. I'm using Vista.
    Have tried reinstalling audio drivers, reinstalling all browsers, resetting all settings and nothing has worked.
    Sound works fine via iTunes, WMP etc.
    With a browser open and playing a video on Youtube/most other sites, there is no sound. If I open the Volume Mixer in the bottom right hand corner of the screen the IE/Chrome/MF icon is not listed under Applications.
    However if playing a video on Bing Videos (new version of MSN Videos) the sound works. This website uses Microsoft Silverlight 4.0 to power its videos.
    Any ideas as to why I have no audio with every other website would be very much appreciated!

  • How do i get firefox to play all webm sounds? it worked before

    for instance there is a link i found in that webm audio wont work. "https://volafile.io/get/FI2GPql8VEVyiQ/Pigeon.webm" this issue seems on and off i have yet to find more videos but this has been going on with other online webm and possibly mp4... i don't recall right now. just webm comes first. most videos that contain audio will play in the embedded player with no problems. however some others will not play audio at all. it doesn't stop there. you know that new facebook voice message that came out? it doesn't work either. it wont play at all. it will however play on opera 12.17 but not firefox 36 or waterfox 36.0 or even chrome. it seems firefox and chrome are the only browsers who share this issue. firefox will also not play this "http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/orange" i mean the pronunciation of the word orange. i also tried some other online dictionaries with the pronunciation audio thing and they too will not play. for both this firefox and chrome. i do realize this is not chrome support but i am just trying to give as much detailed information so i can fix this. it has been quite annoying. the only other way to play the audio in the webm is to download it. i think this is a html5 issue? since facebook and those dictionaries use html5 for that audio? i don't know... it's just a guess.
    i've tried rebooting, checking the audio properties but it can't be the audio properties? or else the sound wouldn't play in opera. the sounds for that webm i linked and the dictionaries and facebook play fine for the same firefox version on my other computer. this windows is 7 and the other is vista. this started a few months back. around janurary. i uninstalled some programs to try that as a fix. this did not help and nor did these programs have to do with audio or browsers.
    i don't know what else to try. there has to be something that is making firefox and chrome not play these types of sounds. some sort of common factor that they both rely on but not opera. can someone please help me? thank you for anyone's time with this matter :)

    i just tried disabling adblock and checking if i had any no script or noscript sort of addon. i do not have a script killer. disabling adblock did not solve the issue.

  • My audio works everywhere except in my browsers - a little help?

    Last week, I noticed that I had suddenly lost audio in YouTube. The video plays fine, just no sound. I verified that the sound bar was up and not muted on YouTube, as well as in my mixer. In fact, I can see the audio modulating in my mixer. It seems as though it's only in my browsers that I have an issue, because my sound tests okay from the Control Panel and I'm able to have audio and video conversations in Skype. I also tried a Google Plus Hangout last night with a friend, and that worked, too. But YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook videos have no audio at all.
    I've exhausted so many suggested checks and solutions that I can't even remember how many... easily dozens. The only thing I've found that is odd is that the Openh264 Codec from Cisco was saying "will be updated shortly" until just an hour or so ago (for the last couple of days). But now that it's updated (and still activated), nothing has changed. 
    I see that a LOT of people have been having this same problem for the last several years. The problems they report (for the few that were able to resolve the issue) differ, but the symptoms seem to be the same. They all seem to stem from some sort of flash configuration issue. I'm semi-literate with software configuration, at best, so I would sure appreciate any help anyone can offer.
    Operating system version - Win7 Ultimate, X64, SP1
    Web browser and version - Firefox 37.0.1
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.htmlFlash Player version - 17.0.0.169

    Right-click on the YouTube video.  Does it say About HTML5 or About Flash Player?
    If it says About Flash Player, then go to the mixer, open the detailed view to see all the sliders, and make sure that the volume for the Flash Player slider is not muted.

  • Audio Not working in Windows Browsers

    I have a flash site that was designed using Flash CS3... this site contains an audio that starts playing in the background as soon as the person lands on the home page. This past week, I changed out the leading image and repackaged the site using Flash CS4. Now the audio works in Mac browsers (Safari and FireFox), but not in Windows browsers (IE and Firefox)... any ideas where to begin in trouble shooting this?
    the site: http://thesunshinefactory.com
    Note: there is a on/off toggle in the upper left corner... (also, I inherited this flash design so, I'm still digging through all the layers - let me know if I need to provide code)
    Thanks.

    On Linux you need proper GStreamer support to play mp3 files with the HTML5 media player.

    Which browsers?
    Would the browser content in question happen to be all the same format (eg flash)? Maybe you lack the application needed to play them.

    I forgot to include in my post that I had downloaded the new flash after the "no audio" began and it did not help. The problerm began some time after I installed OS 10.7.4.

  • MP3 audio file plays well in some browsers, but not all

    I have inserted a media file (MP3 audio file) on a web page to play when clicked.  The play bar shows up and plays perfectly in Chrome just the way I want it. In Explorer the play bar is HUGE and it plays, but repositions itself on the page due to it's large size.  In Safari or Opera the play bar either doesn't play anything or doesn't even show upon the page.  Does anyone have a ny idea what's going on or have a solution?

    #1 You must use an HTML5 doc type. Your doc type is XHTML which doesn't support <audio> tags.
    #2  To work in all browsers, you need to include an alternate file type -- either OGG or WMA.  Opera & pre-FF21 browsers do not support MP3/mpeg files.
    http://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-ogg
    #3 Don't use folder/filenames with spaces on the web.  Rename your media files to Mixdown_with_Vocalists.mp3 (no spaces). 
    #4  Paste this code into a new, blank document.  It should work in all devices:
    <!doctype html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML5 Document</title>
    <!--[if lt IE 9]>
    <script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
    <![endif]-->
    </head>
    <body>
    <audio  controls="controls"  title="Listen to Litterbox Lounge song">
          <source src="Mixdown_with_Vocalists.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
          <source src="Mixdown_with_Vocalists.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
    If you see this, you're using an outdated browser that doesn't support audio.

  • Audio stuttering in all browsers

    I am having a constant issue with audio stuttering when playing videos, which has persisted for a couple of weeks now. This occurs in Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer.
    I have tried downgrading to previous versions of Flash (including both 10.3 and a previous 11.X version), and (unless I am not doing this correctly) this has not fixed the issue.
    I have even attempted to solve the problem by resetting Firefox, and then upgrading to the latest 15.0 beta, but this did not work as well.
    Is there anything else I can do to resolve this issue, or is there something more fundamental broken with my machine? (I ask this as I have had problems with both Windows Update and a virus recently, and before these issues I did not have any problems with Flash playback.)
    I am running Windows 7 on a Lenevo G570 laptop. I am currently using the latest version of Flash (11.3.300.268), and before I upgraded to the Firefox 15.0 beta I was using Firefox 14.1. (I believe that both Chrome and Internet Explorer are up to date, but I predominantly don't use these browsers.)

  • Embedded mp3 audio is SILENT in Safari 3.1, is OK in other browsers. Why?

    I embedded an mp3 audio file in a Web page. I also linked to it on a page of its own.
    When I tested it out, it worked fine in Firefox and Internet Explorer -- it played, and the audio was audible, just as intended. Both the embedded way and the page-of-its-own way. However, I just keep those other browsers around for testing purposes -- my main browser is Safari 3.1.
    But when I tried to play the embedded mp3 file in Safari, it seems to start playing - but no sound comes out! And it's silent on the dedicated page, too! Why?
    Yes, my volume is on. Yes, the volume setting on Quicktime's little embedded mini-player is turned up to maximum. I checked the plugins for Safari, and it seems the full compliment is there -- I did just update to 3.1 yesterday, after all.
    I also think I have the latest version of Quicktime, if that's relevant -- it says "v. 7.4.5" for Quicktime player. (I just did the full "Software Update," so everything should be all there.)
    What could the problem be? I'm sure it's something quite trivial, but I can't figure it out.

    I just figured out how to fix my audio in Safari.
    Turns out there was an evil antique plugin called "Unity Player.plugin" in my "library > internet plugins" folder that was causing conflicts with audio files.
    I trashed it and -- voila! -- problem evaporated.
    Thanks to Apple user "iBod" who posted the answer here, which I just stumbled across:

  • Audio in all browsers not functioning...

    With the exception of QT, I can not get the audio in video files (in Firefox, Safari, IE) to play. This seems to happen primarily with SWF and WMV formats. Video plays, audio doesn't (only in browsers). I even re-installed Flash Player 8.
    I ran my Disk Utility, permissions are repaired, my system sounds work fine, kinda scratching my head here... Has anyone ever encountered this kind of problem?
    Thanks in advance for any input.

    aktorpedo,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Many users have found that following the procedures outlined in No sound from some applications, but system alert sounds play (Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4), solves their sound problem. Let us know what happens.

  • Browsers won't play sound when playing audio

    Everything was working fine with my iMac until some time today. I have the standard iMac and an Edirol FA-66 Firewire audio capture.
    At some point today, the Mac decided that it was going to send all of the sound streaming through my web browsers (Safari and Firefox) to the Edirol. Everything else - iTunes and so on - plays fine through the iMac speakers.
    I have been into System Preferences and the Audio menu and made sure that the output is selected to built-in speakers.
    I have shut down the computer and unplugged the Edirol. When I reboot the browsers simply produce no output. I know they are still playing the audio because I can capture it with software like Audio Hijack.
    When I reconnect the Edirol, the audio plays through that.
    It would seem that some piece of software has possibly hijacked the audio from the browsers and is overriding System Preferences to send the audio to the Edirol (or nothing, when the Edirol isn't plugged in) but I have no idea what that software is.
    I have recently installed the MPlayer and a Quicktime plugin to play AVI files but that was a couple of days ago and things worked fine with the browers afterwards.

    Hello,
    You might try launching Garage Band and play a few notes in there. Then, close it and see how things sound.
    Garage Band restores many sound settings to their original settings. So, while I've never used it for this particular symptom, it couldn't hurt to try it.
    Also, there are additional audio settings in the utility "Audio MIDI Setup" in the Applications --> Utilities folder on your hard drive. So, you might check your settings in there as well.
    I hope this helps.
    Let us know if you have other questions.

  • Is it possible to add Audio on Demand to an image in Captivate 7 QUIZ for html 5 output in web browsers?

    We are trying to do a simple HEAR IT - SELECT IT type 'quiz' in Captivate 7 for an indigenous language project.  Our target output is html 5 to web browser.
    We have used the multiple choice question mode and have inserted IMAGES in place of text (although we left the question numbers visible)  
    The user should be able to click on a speaker icon to hear the audio file (as many times as they choose)  and then select the correct image answer.
    ALSO -  Is it possible to add sound effects for a correct or incorrect quiz answer?
    Thanks

    Attaching audio could be done to the Success/Failure captions, rather easily.You can put a shape button on a question slide, other interactive objects are not possible (Buttons on Question/Score Slides in Captivate 6? - Captivate blog). And have that shape button pause before the pause of the question slide. Use an advanced action with the Statement 'Play audio'. Don't use a simple action, because it will release the play head: Why choose Standard over Simple action? - Captivate blog
    User will then be able to click that shape button as many times as he wants, because the play head will remain at the pausing point. When he Submits the question, the two step process will use the pausing point of the Question slide: Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog

  • Netflix is lagging (video/audio not matching) in Firefox but not in other browsers

    When I open Netflix on Firefox, the audio and video start off in sync but in less than a minute the video falls far behind the audio. I tried it in Chrome and it worked fine, just not in Firefox. I also deleted the temporary Silverlight files (suggested on Netflix's support site: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/219) and of course I've tried restarting the browser many times, but it still doesn't work right. Help? I'm using Windows 8.1 on HP.

    Please check your antivirus/firewall settings to make sure that silverlight xml application traffic is not flagged.
    *[application/x-silverlight] mentioned: [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/28572?start=10&tstart=0]
    Are you using 64bit mode? [http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx]
    Try to restart the browser after deleting the temporary files, it may also be the size of the cache. It is also possible to clear the cache for just netflix by going to about:permissions searching for netflix and clicking on "Forget this site"
    I do not think that accleration would affect it, but to be sure please try:
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
    #* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
    #* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    #In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
