No more sound in Chrome

Hi,

All my games stopped playing sound in Chrome, it's still working fine on Internet Explorer though...

I can see the sounds playing in debug mode in the audio properties, but yet, no sound at all..

Anyone else having this problem ? What could be causing this ?

My Chrome version is: Version 66.0.3359.139 (Build officiel) (64 bits) - looks like there was a recent update ? Might be related ? Also I did not installed anything particular on chrome recently.

Also my construct 2 is outdated, i'm still using R250 since it's working fine for me (until now..?)

Well, the first step is to try the latest version of C2.

Same thing happens for me when I preview my game in Chrome. The audio start playing normally only when I press F5 to refresh the page.

When I don't have audio and check the Audio tab in the debugger, I can see that the audio files are still playing but they don't disappear once they're finished and keep stacking up instead.

Yes, I have the same problem, and I'm using the latest version of C2. None of my projects have sound in Chrome, although they did a few days ago. I also tried them in Chrome on two other peoples' computers--and there was no sound there either. I did what Ryogo suggested, pressed F5. Sure enough, the sound came back. When I refreshed the pages without pressing F5, however, the sound disappeared again. Seems like something changed in Chrome because of an update?

Just tried the projects in Firefox, Opera and Edge. Audio works fine in all of them.

Yes, me too. Suddenly no sound in Chrome. It works in the latest Chrome BETA though.

Please be specific about which version you're testing. We did make a change in the latest beta to adjust when autoplayed audio and video can start. It should be working in r257+.

I'm not sure, but I think this might be the problem--a new autoplay sound policy and setup on Chrome. I found one of these links in an html5 game dev site, where people are also complaining about their html5 games having no sound in Chrome:

Yes, that's exactly what we addressed in r257.

Oops, sorry, I have to check my version of Construct 2; I thought I had the latest....

I upgraded my account from version 252 to 257, but when I went to test some projects, they were bugged and everything messed up ... What was really changed in this version?

I have the same problem. I had sound a few days ago and now nothing. I upgraded to version 257.3 (originally on Version 250 when sound was working fine and then dropped out so tried upgrade) and still no sound. I have reinstalled chrome with no success. The sound works in Edge and internet explorer.

Hello

I also have the same problem, I'm using contruct 2 version 255 steam, I did not find a higher version on steam.

davi9411 You'll find it below as a beta release. I haven't upgraded to it yet myself, but I did find that autoplay sound does work in Chrome if you play your game through an iframe, which is allowed according to Google's new policy.

Edit: Autoplay sound worked in iframes until about half an hour ago. To get the iframe to automatically play sound, you have to add

allow="autoplay"[/code:1ltfq9yt] to your iframe script.  Or you can just upgrade to version r257....

Sound works in Chrome with R258 but I have to press a key/mouse button to make it start.
