AnkiMobile 25.02.1 audio not playing

Hi @emmetm, happy to provide instructions. Anki is architected in a pretty clever way which nicely separates the contents of the cards from the layout of the cards, this means it is easy to make a change and doesn’t require manually updating each card or anything.

How to fix

  1. Go to Tools > Manage Note Types

  2. Select the Chinese card type in the Note Types popup. This will either be Chinese (Basic) or Chinese (Advanced) or both. I will show how to do it for the Basic note type here but it is the same for Advanced.

  3. Select Cards

  4. Select the Back Template radio button

  5. Replace

<!-- {{Sound}}-->

with

<div class="chinese-support-sound">{{Sound}}</div>


  1. Select the Styling radio button

  2. Add a new line after the line starting with .answer and paste this on it:

.chinese-support-sound { display: none; }

  1. Click Save in the bottom right

Thats all there is to it. After you sync, things will work on your phone again.
