I'm having trouble getting notification sounds to play!
I like to be able to hear the thread since I'm not always looking at the window while casually posting.

Any common reasons/solutions for this problem?

What OS and browser are you using?  If you disable auto-playing sounds, it may prevent the notification sounds.  Try copying the below code and pasting into your browser's JavaScript console.  Does it play a sound?  If not, scroll to the bottom of the window and try clicking the play button.  (Side note: As a matter of general cyber hygiene, you should generally read code before pasting it into the console, looking for anything potentially malicious.)


    var playSound = function(url) {
        if (window.activeSound) {
            window.activeSound.remove();
        }
        var url = '/static/sounds/' + url;
        window.activeSound = $("<audio autoplay='autoplay' controls='controls'><source src='" + url + "' /></audio>").appendTo($("body"));
    };
    playSound("ping.mp3");

So strange, pasting that into the console it sure plays a sound.

I'm running windows and using chrome.
I was using the Magic 1 sound and that might be just a faulty sound?

Running the same script but replacing ping with magic 1, magic1 and magic_1 all return a 404.

In fact, I can run any sound that doesn't have a space in the name, but a couple I tried with a space in the name failed.
Mainly because I don't know how the name looks on the page, but I'm also thinking that there might be an issue there.

Either way, while I can hear the sound when doing it from the console, replies still seem not to trigger it :/

Oooh. They work now. I had to allow the desktop messages even if I wasn't going to use them. Weird!

Hmm, that's odd.  Well, I'm glad it's working for you now!

That would explain it, it was dashes, not spaces or underscores.

Also, yeah, it's working. I didn't think Chrome blocking the visual notification would also block the sound from playing. Well, now I know.
