Turning On Safari Audio on an iPhone

To turn on Safari audio on your iPhone, open the Safari app and navigate to the website where you want to listen to audio. Once you’re there, open the Safari menu and select ‘Settings for This Website’. From there, change the Auto-Play setting from ‘Never Auto-Play’ or ‘Stop Media with Sound’ to ‘Allow All Auto-Play’. Click away from the settings window to dismiss it and then refresh the window to reload the question and allow audio to play automatically. That’s it! You should now be able to hear the audio in Safari on your iPhone.

Turning Off Safari Audio on an iPhone

To turn off Safari audio on your iPhone, you can simply close the tab that is currently playing sound. Alternatively, you can pause or mute the video or audio player controls within the website itself. If neither of these methods is available, you can also mute your device using the volume buttons on the side of your iPhone.

Troubleshooting Audio Issues on Safari

The reason you may not be hearing audio on Safari is that it blocks audio content by default. In order to hear audio from a particular web page, you must enable auto-play for that website in the Safari preferences. To do this, open the Safari menu, select Preferences > Websites > Auto-Play, and then select ‘Allow All Auto-Play’. Once this is done, audio should be audible when browsing websites. If you continue to experience difficulties, check your sound settings to ensure that the system volume is turned up and that the correct output device is selected.

Troubleshooting No Sound on Safari on iPhone

It’s possible that the volume is turned down or muted, so check your Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics) to make sure the Ringer and Alerts slider is turned up. If that doesn’t work, it could be a hardware issue; try plugging in some headphones or speakers to see if they work instead. If the sound still isn’t working, your speaker may need to be serviced.

Enabling Audio and Video on Safari

To enable audio and video on Safari, you will need to open Safari and go to the Settings page. Once there, click on the Websites tab. You will then see a list of options related to audio and video playback. Select the option “Allow All Auto-Play” to enable all videos with sound to autoplay. Alternatively, you can select the option “Stop Media with Sound” if you only want videos without audio to autoplay. Finally, if you don’t want any videos to autoplay, select the option “Never Auto-Play”.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Safari on iPhone and iPad blocks audio content by default. In order to hear audio from a particular web page, users will need to manually enable auto-play for that website in the Safari preferences. This is done by opening the Safari menu and selecting Settings for This Website…, then changing the Auto-Play setting from Never Auto-Play or Stop Media with Sound to Allow All Auto-Play. On iPhone or iPad, it is not possible to mute a tab in Safari. The only option for muting sound is to pause or mute using the website’s video or audio player controls, or simply close the tab or mute your device.
