This is a very odd problem. I regularly use the website Bitesized Languages.

In the past, I was able to click on a sentence (for example, http://www.bitesizedlanguages.com/wo...man/2009/08/11) and hear the associated audio. It's been a while, so I can't pinpoint what has changed, but now when I click, the page just reloads and I hear nothing. I checked out the page source code and the audio is connected to the link with this script:

<script>
soundManager.url = '/js/soundman/swf/'; // directory where SM2 .SWFs live
soundManager.onload = function() {
// SM2 is ready to go!
var mySound = soundManager.createSound({
id: 'aSound',
url: 'http://media.bitesizedlanguages.com/german/StandardWords/Numbers/Number11.mp3',
volume: 50
});
mySound.play();
}
</script>

I've tried pasting that url into Firefox. A download for my default audio player pops up, and the sound plays fine that way, but I want to be able to hear it through the webpage.

My audio works fine for other webpages in the browser. I do have NoScript for Firefox, but it's set to allow all scripts for this website. I also have the Firefox add-on that allows me to change the browser rendering engine to IE, but the link doesn't work after this switch either. The weird part is, when I switch from Firefox to IE, as the page is loading, the audio plays! Once I'm in IE, it doesn't, and, as I switch back to Firefox, it doesn't. If I open up IE (as it's own program, not a rendering engine in Firefox), the site audio works fine.

What could be causing this and what can I do to fix it?
