Comment 1 for bug 1815968

EG 3.3.4 - In production, our self check stations do play sounds. We are using the OpenKiosk browser distribution.

When I try and test from my workstation though, I don't hear sounds, in either Chrome or Firefox. But I do in OpenKiosk V47 running on my workstation.

So I wonder if there was some recent audio api change by modern browsers that may be causing this?

Hmm, I found references to the fact that Google stopped allowing autoplay audio.

When I add our evergreen site to the firefox autoplay exception list, I still don't hear any audio though. So I don't know if what evergreen is doing to play audio is what is being blocked.
