Ironically bought an iPad to mostly play on Boardgamearena and it's unusable on iPad because there is no sound. The same issues as previously closed ticket here: boardgamearena.com/bug?id=18153

Nov 30th 2020 11:54 • walkerofmargins • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Would love an update on this! Sound is an important factor when playing games

Dec 17th 2020 20:52 • daneto • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same.

Jan 18th 2021 03:06 • katieanne4 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same thing, I am using safari. The sound only works when you turn it on, there are no other sounds.

Feb 15th 2021 00:37 • hipsmart • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

No sound in Safari on iPad (also in Safari on Mac).

Feb 20th 2021 15:30 • PC8T • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

No sound in Safari for iPad. No sound in Chrome for ipad as well.

Feb 21st 2021 20:46 • andriella • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

No sound in Safari or Chrome on iPad.

Feb 22nd 2021 14:17 • tz1h1x • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Last week a had all Sounds during a Game on my IPad available, but now BGA is completely silent in all Games. A friend of mine with an IPad has exactly the Same Problems.

Mar 27th 2021 17:20 • Een • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Issue on this is on the iPad. Unfortunately, websites don't have the possibility to play sounds on Apple iPad/iPhone. Pressure on this should be put on Apple, not on web developers.

Leaving this report open so that people can see this information, and maybe get together to petition Apple. Who knows what can happen.

Apr 23rd 2021 21:55 • Freddicus • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Data point: [Play] on the sound settings curiously works, but they don't in the games.

Apr 28th 2021 18:18 • djiephe • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

I have the same problem here, no sound on my ipad when i play games

Jun 2nd 2021 09:31 • Knurrig • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

We have this Bug too. Please fix it. The Games without Sound aren't so great

Jun 27th 2021 09:42 • PC8T • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

And here is a way to fix it:

Aug 20th 2021 23:16 • LuckyKea • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Never had sound on my iPad EXCEPT when playing Splendour which must have sound set up differently. If that could be reproduced for all games we would have sound from iPads.

Jan 22nd 2022 12:56 • zipo13 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same problem.
Test other websites and sound test and all seem to work properly on iPad except for BGA.
Seems like an easy thing to fix.
Not sure why it’s not fixed.

Feb 12th 2022 20:22 • kintax99 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

I have the same issue I have no sound on my iPad air 2 or my iPad 5 using chrome or safari. If I move the volume slider up and down like 10-20 times it'll work, although sometimes it'll break again midgame and I have to do that again. But every time I start a new game it has no sound to start.

Feb 17th 2022 20:27 • Nésoi • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Bonjour,

Depuis le "relooking" du site, le son est extrêmement bas et ne peut pas être augmenté, si l'on tente de le faire cela ne marche et créé un problème supplémentaire, à savoir qu'on ne peut plus descendre en bas de la page.
Le.son fonctionnait très bien avant, c'est très gênant de jouer sans aucun son. Ce problème est quotidien, que l'on soit sur smartphone ou sur un ordinateur portable.

Mar 15th 2022 03:57 • WoodyDonut • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

iPad Pro here and no sound.

Mar 20th 2022 21:42 • muddypawprints • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

iPad Pro. Only have “your turn” sound in Splendor. Living Forest is completely silent as is other games.

Apr 2nd 2022 11:31 • B_Kevin • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

ipadPro No Sound

Apr 7th 2022 23:24 • CrispyCreme • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

iPhone doesn’t provide in-game sound - it’s a real shame

Jun 12th 2022 22:40 • MaKoBwoY • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

No sounds on iPad, whatever browser is used.

Aug 7th 2022 06:41 • Tony P • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Searching for a fix and stumbled on this board. Issue still occuring.

Aug 11th 2022 16:27 • Tracypeich • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

No ávisa de inicio de partida

Aug 31st 2022 23:17 • Bioshock6 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

I have found a work around at least while playing 7 wonder duel. Only at the begining while its your turn to chose wonder. Quickly click on the sound ico twice, so first it de activaets, then activates, then try scorolling the sound bar same time chose your wonder. some how while you change the volume + select your wonder the sound gets ativated. Only missing thohgh the end game winning sound, when you lose you hear it though. Yes super duper wiered :-P. May be other games can be solved like this too. but again every table u have to it again usually .

Oct 18th 2022 09:03 • IRE1 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

I check here every so often to see if this issue is fixed. It is incredible that it still persists. Inexplicably it seems the developers cannot reproduce the bug too. My iPad Pro has no sound in game except for intermittently at the start of some games. I don’t use the site much because of this problem.

Oct 26th 2022 17:57 • Dark Ultraman • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

this game could enjoy and speedy in pc. please improve in smartphone

Feb 13th 2023 23:26 • jsmigiel • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

iPadOS 16.3 with Safari. Still no sound.

Apr 20th 2023 03:04 • Dark_Tower_Dan • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Yeah, same issue. iPad with iOS 16.3.1. Only sound in BGA is when volume slider is moved.
Come on guys. Its been years. Its SOUND…

May 24th 2023 20:42 • pangus • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Bien que membre premium, les parties que j administre restent sans le son. C est très ennuyeux ! Pouvez vous y remédier ? Remerciements. Pangus

May 24th 2023 20:46 • pangus • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Le problème est reçurent quand je joue avec mes amis. La touche f5 est sans effet

Jun 4th 2023 23:18 • Riouex • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

No game sounds on iPad. Can hear sound from slider and sound preferences buy not during gameplay.

Jun 8th 2023 00:38 • cguman2 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same. No sound on iPad OS 16.3.1. Can’t believe it’s taken this long to get something as simple as sound! Sound/mute slider has sound but that’s it.

Jun 19th 2023 02:31 • muddypawprints • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Have the developer's been able to reproduce this yet? iPad or iPhone. Open Splendor. Glorious sound! :) Open any other game... the sound of silence. Whatever is different in Splendor, needs to be replicated to the other games. It would be so nice to have turn notifications, etc, via sound. Thank you!

Jul 29th 2023 01:51 • Kenners2k • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Do any of you iPad users also face an issue with unresponsive button presses?
See this bug:

Aug 17th 2023 11:38 • muddypawprints • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Een - I actually discussed this with an Apple developer. There is not a problem on Apple's end. It is a security measure. It is how the code is written. If you look at Splendor on this site, there IS sound. Ios needs the code to respond to the user either scrolling or clicking. Once that is done, sound will be played. Hence, there is sound when we click to take chips in Splendor. It would be nice if BGA could work WITH Apple instead of telling us that we need to petition them to change their operating system. What is BGA doing to fix this for your paying customers?

Sep 21st 2023 07:18 • metaprogram • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

Same problem here, super annoying. Of course websites can play sound on iPad, there are thousands of other websites you can go find that play sound. Even this website plays sound. SOMETIMES.

Oct 3rd 2023 21:55 • muddypawprints • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

I upgraded both my iPhone and iPad to the new iOS 17, I now have sound in several of the games I play. Lucky Clovers, Sea Salt and Paper, Solo and Bunny Kingdom. This is looks promising!
