I have a small, very basic 3d game that runs in all browsers. But my issue is that when it runs in Chrome I can see in my console messages that the sounds are "pending" and don't play when they should. The thing is that after some time have passed ALL sounds play at the same time. It doesn't seem to be happening anywhere else, its just in Chrome. I came across this article that someone posted but it did not solve my issue. Just in case I am running Version 43.0.2357.81 m of Chrome and I am using the Sound Manager 2 library (I needed it in order to have sound work with IE 9 and up).

Can anyone offer some suggestions or point me to any more articles that might point me to a solution? Many thanks in advance!

  • If you post some code generating the issue one may be able to help you out. Have you tried when disabling all extensions? – GillesC Jun 04 '15 at 15:51

Turn on logging in Chrome (inspect element/console - Preserve log) and see what your code is doing.

Also, you could try enabling/disabling your audio flags just be sure to set them back to default when you are done. chrome://flags/#disable-encrypted-media chrome://flags/#disable-prefixed-encrypted-media/ chrome://flags/#try-supported-channel-layouts chrome://flags/#enable-delay-agnostic-aec chrome://flags/#disable-delay-agnostic-aec chrome://flags/#enable-tab-audio-muting

in chrome and see if that makes a difference.

Just shooting from the hip on the information given though, I would imagine that chrome is delaying your audio javascript execution to the end of the page load. Moving the script to the beginning of the page, or using an async could fix this. Here is a good resource for javascript page load issues: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/speed/script-loading/

  • Great! I am glad it is helping. Javascript page load issues are one of the more frustrating things to deal with. – theinvisibleduck Jun 04 '15 at 16:42
  • same problem for me here but the answer did not do the trick for me http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35709069/ember-app-not-playing-sound-in-chrome – Koala7 Feb 29 '16 at 20:40
  • Koala7, looking at your issue, it sounds a little different than what was being experienced here (namely everything playing all at once after a few minutes). I see that you found an answer to your issue though, which is great! – theinvisibleduck Mar 01 '16 at 21:58
