Allowing Sound on Amy Lynn's Voice-Overs

Recent versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox browsers block auto-playing media – videos or sound where you didn’t click on something to play it. They’re trying to make the web less annoying but unfortunately it means that you aren't hearing the greeting!

You can tell your browser to allow Amy Lynn's Voice-Overs to play sound – below are instructions for changing the settings for Amy Lynn's Voice-Overs (and not for every site you visit, only this one).

Safari for iOS – the browser on your iPhone or iPad – doesn’t have a setting to allow this. We’re sorry about that.

Another thing that sometimes helps is now that you have visited other pages, the greeting will play because Chrome will now trust this site. Simply click on the left hand side of the menu where it says "Main".

Go to the URL “about:preferences#privacy” or click “Preferences” then “Privacy & Security” in the application menu:
