Interesting... Takes sometime, but It does play audio and can't really tell where it's coming from on the site. The second visit, it's not playing anything. I think it was because my Ghostery was not enabled, but let me verify that by turning it off.

Yeah, it happened on the first visit, but not hearing anything after that.

Interesting. I'll try a few things but it plays every time I go to the website at the moment.

Edit: Ghostery seemed to solve the problem after the first time through.

Tried it again later and the audio kicked on in about a minute.

You can look at these prefs in about:config to see what settings work for you to block media auto-play.

  • media.autoplay.default = 5 [0:allow;1:blockAudible;5:blockAll]
  • media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2
  • media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages => false
  • media.autoplay.block-event.enabled => true
  • media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground

You can open about:config via the address/location bar. You can read the warning and click "Accept the Risk and Continue".
