Problems with audio cards (iOS and desktop)

That helps wrap up some of the mysteries!

There’s only on iOS that I see an explicit error message when I’m about to play a audio clip.

1. Have the audio files synced to your iOS device? You can run ⚙️ Preferences > Check Media to see if you get the same result as on desktop.

@cjauvin

On the desktop version, there is no error message, just the clip doesn’t play.

2. Are you expecting it to play automatically, or via clicking a button?
3. Is there a visible button on your card?
4. Have you checked your card templates for “workarounds” like this – No sound for Desktop or AnkiDroid / mp3 plays by itself - #5 by Anon_0000 – which no longer work?
5. If you look in the field of your notes, are these regular [sound:...] tags, or something else?
6. What filetype are the files?
