I've noticed the audio playback volume is not 100% in Safari, even though I have the assigned control set to "1."
Is there another to do this, or is this possibly an issue in the script?
Using this control (as below) the audio plays at 100% in Firefox.
Update: Apparently the control I'm using for volume isn't recognized in Safari (see below), so I'm now seeking a way to play audio at 100% volume, using this player below, in Safari.
According to the Safari Developer Library, reading volume always returns 1, which is what I've set my player to; HOWEVER, the volume is slightly lower in Safari than in other browsers.
Could the problem be within my script, or is this an issue solely with Safari?
ALSO, I've noticed that changing the volume parameter attenuates volume in Safari, but 1 is not equal to 100%; thus, it does have some effect, but still problematic.
Here's my HTML:
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="src/jquery.ubaplayer.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(function(){
jQuery("#ubaPlayer").ubaPlayer({
codecs: [{name:"MP3", codec: 'audio/mpeg;'}]
});
});
jQuery('a[rel=vidbox]').click(function () {
if (jQuery("#ubaPlayer").ubaPlayer("playing") === true) {
jQuery("#ubaPlayer").ubaPlayer("pause");
}
return false;
});
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="ubaPlayer"></div>
