Hi, so MacOS works?
Opened an issue here but some screenshots or error logs would be helpful.

Hi Johannes,

I am not sure about MacOS but I think that it works according to what Berretje wrote some posts above, I can check on my Windows computer only right now,

I have created a short video to demonstrate the issue (sorry for the bad video quality). I opened the same thread from this forum in Chrome on both my Windows computer and my iPhone, then played one of the MP3 files of this thread on the Windows computer first whiochg is fine, after that played the same on my iPhone where you will notice that no sound is played. Then played a song from Spotify on the same iphone to show that audio os working in general on the device, and back to the NUF thread and "played" another MP3 example with again just silence to be heard - does this help?

I tried playing the mp3 I uploaded yesterday on macOS Big Sur running Safari 15.2 and got no sound. I had to download the file (confirming I wanted to download files from this site first) before I could play it.

This sometimes happens to me, too. On Win10 with Firefox. But only in some cases - not for all MP3s. I haven't talked about it as I haven't seen a pattern yet. Wasn't much of a problem, though, as I can always hit the attached file and select "Open with..", combined with my Audio player. Is there a workaround for iOS, too?

Well, you could access the forum with Safari on iOS and download each individual MP3 file to the files section of your iOS device, then open it from the files app and play it - it’s not very convenient though …

@Johannes: I just tried on my Macbook, it works with MacOS Catalina and Chrome - it's really just an issue with iOS devices

MacOS with Safari WONT work. You need to download and play separately.

Yes - same on my Macbook: MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 and Safari 15.2

It seems as if this affects only browsers that are based on Apple's webkit, which is true for all iOS browsers (not just Safari but also Chrome etc.) and for Safari on MacOS, while Chrome on MacOS is based on it's own engine.

Did some searching and I found this website: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/464 ... 11-devices

So I tried to change the local website cache to the native player using this code:

Code: Select all: <audio controls> <source src="https://www.norduserforum.com/download/file.php?id=15492" type="audio/mpeg;codecs=" mp3""=""> </audio>

That seems to work just fine... not sure if this works for all browsers....
