Audio or Pronunciation Not Playing
Fixes for audio playback issues.
If you can't hear word pronunciations or sound effects in Sound Safari:
Check your device volume:
- Make sure your device isn't on silent (check the mute switch on the side of your iPhone)
- Turn up the volume using the side buttons
- If using Bluetooth headphones, check they're connected
Check in-app audio settings:
1. Open Sound Safari
2. Go to Settings
3. Scroll to the Voice section and make sure Voice Enabled is on
4. Tap Test Voice to hear a sample β and check Sound Effects under Session Controls

If audio still doesn't work:
- Close and reopen the app
- Try with headphones vs speakers
- Restart your device
- Check if other apps have audio (to rule out a hardware issue)
Note: every practice word ships with a recorded pronunciation. If playback stops entirely, the steps above resolve it in almost every case β Test Voice in Settings confirms audio is working.
