No Sounds if Tabbed Out

over 5 years

So I've gotten this bug in the past, but it's happening more and more frequently recently. Often i'll tab out while waiting for a game to fill, but lately, when I do this, I will not hear that the game has started (the drings and whatnot.) This usually leads to me vegging, but if I manage to come back and not veg, all the sounds that I missed will then play. As far as I know, this fixes itself after that (even if you don't get sounds pregame, if you come back after game starts, and then tab out again, you will then get sounds while tabbed out.)

I am also getting this bug

what if we added desktop notifications lol

sure! i could add this

Would it be possible to set up an option for which notifications we wnat to recieve? Such like if we only want notifications for when the game is starting, but not when we're mentioned?

+1 for desktop notifications, i feel they're more useful than sound cues.

Especially because i don't think anyone should have to turn on autoplay on all websites, autoplay is dumb.

I'm assuming you use Chrome, this is due to changes implemented into Chrome's Dec. 2018 build that makes the Web Audio API affected by their Autoplay Policy now, and it affects a lot of sites that haven't updated for the change yet.

On the user end if you go to chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy and change it to No user gesture required it should fix this.
