Sound at start

Hi all. My cient The National Historic Museum has asked me if we can create sound at each pano·

Of course this is easy I thought.

However i discovered that it is impossible to make a sound work at start up.
Everyting works offline but as soon as I upload it its all silence.

It does not matter how I do it.
The simple way like this on each scene works fine but not on the initial pano
onstart="stopallsounds();wait(1);playsound(soundinterface,sounds/start.mp3,3);"
Om the second pano it works fine.

And not even if I do it on the Start button like in this demo it works http://360-foto.dk/nationalhistorisk-museum/indexsound.html

<plugin zorder="205" name="banner" url="images/start-transp.png" devices="desktop|tablet|iphone" scale="0.7" keep="true" x="0" y="20" align="center" visible="true" enabled="true" alpha="1" onclick="action(closestart);playsound(soundinterface,sounds/start.mp3,3);" />

I tried also to include it in the startup action and also as a preload onstart.

I need to have this working on monday.

I am sorry but your code i a Fatal error.

SOLVED
1. I changed the order of the action and playsound and it works.
2. The problem is only on Safari.

onclick="playsound(soundinterface,sounds/start.mp3);action(closestart);"

Anyone can tell me why,? I have not done much coding the last 7 years so maybe ther is an explanation I do not know of.

I hope that it works on all platforms now. I never had a problem that could only be seen on Safari.
Hope it works on Windows now

Just checked on iPad and you are right it does not work.
It takes a lot of interaction to start sound,You actually have to klik on the pano·

This is really bad. I just checked one of my first tours made in 2013 which has autostart mp3 sound on all panos. They always worked fine but not any more.

When did this change.?

Sorry but thats not the problem.

I just discovered that IOS latest updates hav caused several problems on my iPhone.

The big problem is the may updates that Apple makes introducing new bugs.

You can not do Virtual Tours for clients any more and deliver them for their own servers.

Stuff changes often..
Especially with browsers and also apple. Security stuff etc

Yes its really a problem. I actually thought it had become stable now and I have planning to transfer all tours to the clients serveer.

But it seems to still be much trouble with IOS updates.
I got the sound working by removing the stopallsounds() code as it seeems not to have any function when you load just one sound in a new scene.
However ifyou do not have any sound in the next scene you have to ad it unless you want the sound to comtinue.

But now I found a weird problem on iPhone when using the Homescreen buttons.
If you close down the iour with the sound playing it will actually start agin when opening another tour even if there is no sound at all on that tour.

This only happens with Homescreen buttons. Directly in Safari all is fine. And only on my iPhone which is updated to 13.1.3
My iPad is still on 12.4.5 as I do not have automatic update on it and the problem is not on it.

klaus addresses this with new builds. you should use them, specially 1.20 fix a load of problems.

It has given me a lot of problems.
Just updated and it destroyed my interface. Zoomed in double size on iPhone.

Had to go back to 1.19.14
After all the 1.20 is only 7 months old.

check and compare the old and new index.html (tour.html)
