Is there a problem with the dictionary microphone?

Question

When you click or enter a word the mic shows, but after you click it again to hear it, the mic goes away, so no audio.

Answer 1

yippie, its working again for me too.

Answer 2

If you read the similar thread concerning this problem you will see a note from the staff saying that they upgraded their audio player and that should fix the problem.

Answer 3

Yes, I can also now hear the vocabulary lists audio links as well as the dictionary's audio. Since we were using different browsers and I doubt that we all changed our settings the same way, I am assuming the problem was with the server hosting this site.

Answer 4

It's working now!!!!!!!

Answer 5

I heard the same thing, but I have never had a problem with it.

Answer 13

Hey Motley, I was having a similar problem. My mic stays, but even though my volume is turned on (i.e., not muted), and is raised (I can hear other programs on this site like "Coffee Break Spanish), but I can't hear the pronunciation of the selected words.

Answer 14

I use Mozilla also. If I click on the word in the forum I see the mic, but then when I click on the mic, the word comes up but the mic is gone. I just checked a couple of other audio sites & they are ok, any ideas'

Answer 15

Hi Motley
I am using Mozilla Firefox and have just tested the microphone. It is working fine.
