problems with sound when starting a new game • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

Hello! Since this morning i ́m having problems with the sound. No sound until i make the first move. So if i am waiting for a game to start, the game does NOT notify me with the tipical sound that the game is going to start. So when playing tournaments i have to be looking at the screen to not miss a game. Anybody is facing same problems?
thank you

Ok. The problem is resolved. Firefox was causing this problem since it got updated recently. It was blocking audio and video automatically, so i have change permissions to allow and now is working fine the sound.
Thanks anyway!

I'm having this same problem. No starting game sound on Firefox until I move a piece, so essentially, no starting game sound at all to warn me when I get seated in a tournament.

I'm on the latest version of Firefox, so I can't upgrade to fix it. Please help!

It's really distracting and annoying, I think Firefox is blocking sound until you interact with the page, due to their insabe media policy bug "feature".

Hello! Its very easy, but my settings is in spanish so i ́ll try to help you since english is not my language.

First step: Go to lichess.org
Second step: Click on the padlock-- secure conection-- more information
3 step: Click on permissions

5 step: click on allow audio and video.

Thank you for updating your post with the cause and how to fix it, I had the same issue with Firefox and enabling auto play audio/video for Lichess fixed the issue for me.
