No Sound Notification

[csauve]

Hi all,

I have just installed php free chat. All work fine except the notification sound.
No notification sound is heard when new user connect or when a new message is type/sent?

Version : 1.3
Theme used : default
Parameter : "startwithsound" is set to true


Thanks in advance!

the sound work just fine for me.. in case you missed it.. the notification sound only works if the the chat windows is not in focus.. and the notification sound does not work for users joining in or even other notices.. only messages..
for info.. i tested in chrome.. and IE8...

... the notification sound only works if the the chat windows is not in focus...

I'm suffering from the same issue, that sound notification happens only when the chat window is not in focus.
Problem is: our users watch a streamed video and having the chat open in parallel. So if the chat is in focus, they do not get notified accustically when we send them news while they are watching the video in the other window.

Can someone give me a hint where I find the code to change this behavior, so that sound notifications happens independent of the current focus?

Thanks in advance.

I've managed to solve this issue, partially, by changing the script pfcclient.js in the function handleComingRequest (around line 986) from:
<code>
iif (!this.detectactivity.isActive() && pfc_notify_window)
</code>
to:
<code>
iif (pfc_notify_window && sender != this.nickname)
</code>
This produces a sound notification whether the chat window is on focus or not but...
if the mouse cursor is in the main chat window (where the chat messages appear) the sound is not played even though the function gui.notifyWindow() is called as expected.
If the mouse cursor is elsewhere within the browser window (e.g. in the user box), the saound is played correctly.
