Audio won';t play in Preview mode, but plays fine when course is published
October 21, 2015 12:00 AM
I am using Lectora 12 and Internet Explore (IE) v11. I cannot get the audio to play when I run my courses in Preview mode. The audio works fine when I publish the courses to the LMS. When I preview my courses through the browser, Google Chrome plays the audio and IE does not. Trivantis support says it is a security setting in IE since Preview mode uses IE. I have played around with the IE Security settings but have not had any luck. I had the same issue with IE9. I believe this all started when I upgraded to Lectora 12. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this audio issue for Preview mode only?

What you say makes a lot of sense. I read the article you included, but I am not clear on how to access the My Computer security settings. Can you provide further guidance?
Thanks,

When previewing in a browser, Lectora publishes the page locally to your hard drive and opens in in a browser (chosen by you). All and any browsers treat HTML pages on your hard drive as a security risk and will therefore block certain functionality, thereby messing up how the page is displayed. What works and what doesn't (and how it affects your page) is always a bit of mystery. I had problems with Chrome for example when half of my JS code would run OK and another half was blocked for some reason.
In Microsoft speak, pages that are located on your hard drive are in the "My Computer Security Zone", here's some information about that - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/174360. You will need admin privileges (and quite a bit of tinkering) to set up less restricting permissions for that zone.
