Vocabulary pronunciation audio does not play while UI button sounds work #30123

Description

Summary

On the KanaDojo site, clicking words or characters that should trigger pronunciation audio produces no audible sound. The UI indicates the sound is being triggered, and standard UI button click sounds play normally, suggesting system audio works but the word audio files may be failing to load, have broken links, or are being blocked by the browser.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open KanaDojo.
  2. Click on any word/character that is supposed to trigger an audio pronunciation.
  3. Observe that the UI registers the click, but no voice audio is heard.
  4. Click general UI buttons on the site; notice that these sounds play normally.

Expected Behavior

Clicking a word or character should play its pronunciation audio.

Actual Behavior

No pronunciation audio is heard when clicking words/characters, even though the UI registers the click and general UI button sounds play normally.

Environment

  • Page: Unknown
  • Feature: Vocabulary / pronunciation audio
  • Device: Desktop
  • Browser: Brave Browser
  • Locale: Unknown

Attachments

None.

Triage Notes

User notes system audio works (UI button sounds play), so this likely relates to word audio asset loading, broken URLs, or Brave's autoplay/audio blocking behavior. Brave shields may be blocking external audio requests; worth checking network requests for the pronunciation files and any external audio host used.

Missing Info

  • Which specific page/URL and words or characters were clicked (e.g., vocabulary list, kana detail, or practice game)?
  • Are the pronunciation audio files served from KanaDojo or a third-party host?
  • Does the issue also occur in another browser (e.g., Chrome or Firefox) on the same device?
  • Do any developer console or network errors appear when clicking a word?
  • Is Brave Shields enabled at standard/aggressive settings for the site?

Bug Report: Missing Audio for Words
Issue Summary:
Vocabulary audio fails to play, while UI button sounds work normally.

Detailed Description:
When I click on the words to hear their pronunciation, no audio plays. The website's UI indicates that the sound is triggering, but nothing can be heard. However, the standard button click sounds on the website work perfectly fine. This indicates that my system audio is working, but the specific audio files for the words are either failing to load, resulting in a broken link, or getting caught in a browser block.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open Kana Dojo.

Click on any word/character that is supposed to trigger an audio pronunciation.

Observe that the UI registers the click, but no voice audio is heard.

Click general UI buttons on the site; notice that these sounds play normally.
