What are you trying to achieve:
I uploaded a video vith sound and am using it as the background on my home page. when the page loads the video plays correctly, (it is set to Loop) but there is no audio.
What have you already tried:
I have googled, and looked on you tube. they tell me how to add video but not how to enable audio on current video.
It might be possible to do this, depending on how it’s added (as a background to a section vs a video player element).
It’s worth noting that automatically playing sound on page load is considered bad practice, and some browsers will automatically disable audio by default, regardless of the settings you add.
Generally, this is to prevent situations such as being in public and accidentally being caught off guard by audio on a site you weren’t expecting.
Thank you, I guess I will just add the music after the fact.

Hi, I’m facing exactly the same situation, my video is set as a background section and I know it’s muted by default, but my ‘client’ at least wants the user to be able to switch the sound on and off by clicking on the video/section. Please help me, I’ve tried everything I know, even adding a button that triggers the mp3 audio file, but if you don’t click at the beginning it won’t be synchronised, and that’s not the intention.
So please, is there any possibility here?
