Troubleshooting

I've configured an opening sound, why doesn't it play?

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the opening sound you've specified will play for all visitors.

Whether the selected opening sound will work for your visitors depends on several factors beyond our control, including:

  • The browser of the visitor
  • The browser settings
  • Visitors must interact with your site first in order for the sound to start playing.

Why can't I upload custom sound files in Joomla 3?

Due to technical limitations in Joomla 3's media manager, custom file uploads are not supported. We recommend using the Custom Sound URL option or choosing from our pre-made sounds.
