2 Sound in browsers

Overview

For the sounds to be played in Áú»¢¶Ä²© frontend, Frontend messaging must be enabled in the user profile Messaging tab, with all trigger severities checked, and sounds should also be enabled in the global notification pop-up window.

The sounds of Áú»¢¶Ä²© frontend have been successfully tested in the following web browser versions and no additional configuration was required:

• Firefox 3.5.16 on Linux
• Opera 11.01 on Linux
• Google Chrome 9.0 on Windows
• Firefox 3.5.16 on Windows
• IE7 browser on Windows
• Opera v11.01 on Windows
• Chrome v9.0 on Windows
• Safari v5.0 on Windows, but this browser requires Quick Time Player to be installed

Additional requirements

Firefox v 3.5.16

For playing wav files in the Firefox browser you can use one of the following applications:

• Windows Media Player
• Quick Time plug-in.

Then, in Tools ¡ú Options ¡ú Applications, in "Wave sound (audio/wav)" set Windows Media Player to play these files.

Safari 5.0

Quick Time Player is required.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

To play sounds in MSIE7 and MSIE8:

• In Tools ¡ú Internet Options ¡ú Advanced enable Play sounds in webpages
• In Tools ¡ú Manage Add-ons... enable Windows Media Player
• In the Windows Media Player, in Tools¡úOptions¡úFile Types enable Windows audio file (wav)

In the Windows Media Player, in Tools¡úOptions tab, "File Types" is only available if the user is a member of "Power Users" or "Administrators" group, i.e. a regular user does not have access to this tab and does not see it.

An additional thing - if IE does not have some *.wav file in the local cache directory (%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files) the sound will not play the first time.
