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:

Mark this question as "solved."

Empty the Safari cache...

Quit and relaunch Safari. Try to re position an image on FB.

Does Adobe have a ready solution for embedding mp3 audio files in a Muse site?

I need to create a simple playlist and have it accessible from a website created in Muse.
Does Adobe offer any kind of solution for this? An audio mp3 widget would be welcome.
Thanks!

Why can't Safari connect to free wifi when other browsers can?

When trying to use free WIFI in hotels, the connection requires opening browser and then the hotel log in screen pops up for me to log in (room number or sometimes just to say "agree")
Safari does not work!
I set my network connection to Automatic
The WIFI address I want shows up so I can select and the button turns green,next to "Wifi" in Network Preference
But when I then launch Safari, nothing ... I cannot log into the hotel's network
Yet if i launch Chrome or FireFox, immediately the hotel's window pops up and then I am fully on the Internet (and can use Safari
I have no firewall or such , so why can't Safari do what other browsers can?

you can learn a VERY valuable lesson from this question... NEVER publish your email address in public forums of any kind - FaceBook, Google+, chats, etc. - these places are low hanging fruit for nefarious characters - ÇÇÇ

Why is the embeded twitter widget not visable in Firefox, but is viewable in all other browsers?

This is regarding the code provided by twitter.com for embeding a twitter feed box. Is there a special code extension or modification required for viewing compatibility in Firefox?
Using the basic code from twitter I see no problems with Chrome, Explorer or Safarri. I can't find any solutions in this forums or in other code forums. Please help.

Yahoo webmail does not login with safari. Will log in with other browsers.

I can not log in with mail.yahoo.com on safari. It will not take PW. I installed dolphin and opera. I can access the site with no issues with them. I have tried "Clear cookies and data".
Any ideas? Can I reinstall safari somehow?

Hello MountP,
The best way to take care of that is to either start fresh on your library or import the files that are already on your computer. The following article will assist with that.

A day back Firefox got silent. All devices are OK. All other browsers work normally.

Version 10. The program is fully functional but no sound.

Hi Anna_Kopylova,
It could be a couple of things. You might have accidentally muted audio for Firefox. The article Knowledge Base article [[No sound in Firefox]] will show you how to check.
If that doesn't work, you should look at [[Video or audio does not play]]. This will show you how to troubleshoot any plugin/extension issues that might be impacting your system.
Hopefully this helps!

Shared MP3 - Audio Distortion

Hello-
I have an offline MP3 that is audible and runs just fine in preview mode on my Mac. However, when I upload it directly to a room in a shared pod or access it via the administrative content manager, again in a share pod, the sound is distorted. This has been replicated in multiple rooms.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
What devices are they using?
What program or apps with versions are they using?
I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

How can I get my embedded mp3 player to work?

I was using Mindy McAdams' tutorial on embedding an MP3 audio player on my webpages, and was able to get the player to show up in iWeb (using a HTML snippet), but not when I published it. I must admit that I'm new to widgets and may not be doing this correctly. My URL is
http://www.nishmusic.com/Site/AmazingSilentNight.html
The html code that I was using is:
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.nishmusic.com/Audio/audio-player.js"></script>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.nishmusic.com/Audio/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.nishmusic.com/Audio/player.swf">
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=audioplayer1&soundFile=http://www.nishmusic.com/Audio/Play_Amaz ingSilentNight.mp3">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>
Any ideas? Thanks!
Judy

Thanks for checking it out...unfortunately it still isn't working for me and I can't figure out why. I pasted the code into the snippet, hit "apply" and can see the player on the page. I published only the html of that page but when I checked the site on Safari, the player doesn't appear. Hmm.

Embedded Video Audio Sync Problem

I have been exporting Flash Video from Adobe Premiere
Elements 3.0. I import the .FLV into Flash 8 as embedded video. The
published .SWF works fine, audio and video start in sync and stay
in sync, but about 3/4 through the video, audio stops.
This occurs no matter how short or long the exported clip.
I did my best searching through these forums, looking for an
answer to this issue, but have had no success.

Do you need to embed the FLV file in the SWF file? I would
recommend playing the FLV as an external file. If you need to use
embedded video, make sure the frame rates are identical (SWF and
FLV). I can't remember if Premiere Elements enables you to output
with Raw audio for FLV files, but Flash 8 (or CS3) will recompress
an embedded video's audio track on publish/export--so, try to use
Raw if you can to avoid recompression. This might have something to
do with your problem too, the recompression of the MP3 audio track
in your original FLV when re-exporting as embedded video in the
SWF. (Your audio stream setttings in the Publish Settings control
the quality/recompression of your FLV output when embedded in the
SWF.)
HTH.

How do I play embedded mp3 files?

Hello,
Is Adobe Reader for iPad capable of opening my embedded mp3 files? If not, then how can I get the audio to play inside the document? The original document was created in Publisher 2012...converted to pdf where I embedded the mp3.
Thank you for your help.

Adobe Reader for iPad has no support for MP3 or video files. You would need to use a paid PDF reader like PDF Expert.

Embedding MP3 files into dreamweaver webpage

I've embedded mp3 files into my webpage, but every time someone opens the page, they are prompted to either open or save the file. I want the viewer to be able to play the song using the embedded player, without the prompt.

Embedded players are very old school. And it won't work for many since they need a player and appropriate browser plugins installed on their end. The modern approach is HTML5 <audio> which is widely supported by all browsers, including mobile and tablets. For an example of HTML5 audio, copy and paste this code into a new, blank document.

HELP! Creating MP3 Audio Clip from iTunes to publish in iWeb

I had successfully been able to publish in iWeb MP3 audio clips.Two of 4 MP3 audio clips that I had published and uploaded to the internet and were successfully mounted on the website for a year, suddenly would not function on the internet [I checked it out on both Safari and IE browsers — not a browser issue].
I proceeded to troubleshoot the issue in iWeb to pursue the following considerations:
Was the website requiring more webspace because I tried the MP3 clip on another website I have constructed that is far below its capacity. Same results. The clip would not publish in iWeb.
I reloaded the original song in iTunes, followed the instructions "How to convert a song to a different file format".

Hello, again, Old Toad,
Here is the webpage weblink that has the MP3 audio clip:
http://users.xplornet.com/~gayda/Dance_in_Liturgy.html
BUT! AND, IT'S A HUGE BUT! In the iWeb publishing screen, the MP3 player has a '?' under the image.
However, upon uploading the site, the MP3 player is functioning! And, plays perfectly well. Go figure?
I cannot discern how or why this occurred after many attempts prior to my contacting you, the player in iWeb publishing mode was in a 'non-function' state. However, in desperation to have the player functional, I gave it another go round, and VOILA!, it uploaded successfully. It's a mystery to me.
What I am going attempt to do for the other website that originally had the two players, is upload it even though iWeb shows they are not published and see what happens.
It may be a website issue after all rather than the 'MP3 player'. That being the case, I will contact the ISP Domain Host and arrange for more space for this particular site.
The website that successfully uploaded the player is very small. The other one is a huge. It may be a case scenario that the latter is on overload.
Back to you later to see what happens next and verify the status quo for the original site the players were loaded.

Audio playback problems in Safari since Mavericks upgrade

I've been having intermittent audio problems in Safari ever since upgrading to Mavericks on my iMac.
Google Play Music doesn't make any sound at all in Safari. Works fine in Firefox.
Downloading audio clips/mp3 playback in Safari has intermittent clicks/pops & sounds terrible.
Tried installing latest version of Flash player...no help.
Everything used to be fine before upgrading to Mavericks.
What gives?

I did the following and got it working again....unfortunately, I'm not sure which action specifically fixed the problem, because I did a few at the same time.
From Google Support:
"Alternatively, you may enable HTML 5 audio without the need for flash by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right corner and selecting 'Music Labs'. From here, you may click the radial 'Enabled' button to the right of the HTML 5 description.(Note: You must be using Chrome, Safari 3.1+ or IE 9+)
Clearing your browser's history and cache has been reported as solving this issue."
Works fine now.
Note: Although Google Play Music is working now, MP3 audio playback directly through the Safari browser still sounds clicky/poppy. This issue doesn't happen when using Firefox.

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