NewXToa Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Hello! For some reason, any time I have the forum open in Firefox, it opens an audio stream that prevents my laptop from sleeping when I close the lid. I narrowed the problem down to forum - toggling various add-ons (and other tabs) did nothing, whereas the audio would disappear and reappear immediately upon closing and reopening the forum tab. Firefox was the only program open at the time. I am on Microsoft Windows 10 Education Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363. Firefox is version 71.0 (64-bit). The problem does not occur in Chrome, Edge, or a Firefox Private Window (incognito mode). This is an extremely inconvenient problem, I usually have a tab open with the Weekly Strike Targets open pinned.

WanderingAries Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Purge your temp files just in case. Annoying, but if there's something buggy about a site that's the normal first step.

Tock Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) It's part of the Invision Power Board notification system. There's an open audio stream that plays a tone when you have a notification occur on the forums. Edited December 25, 2019 by Tahquitz Inactive account. For current info, see GM_Tock.

I'm guessing the reason I didn't reproduce the problem on other browsers was because I wasn't signed in, then. Is there any way to turn this off? I'm looking in the notification settings menu and it looks like I already have "play a sound when I receive a notification" toggled off and "do not send me notifications" checked on top of that anyways. Thank you for letting me know why it's happening! Even if I don't find a solution that satisfies me, it's always good to know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the issue, and do get the notification beeps on chrome Mayhem It's my Oeuvre baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tock Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Unfortunately, it's not specific to this website. When using Firefox, the stream is open on ANY website that has embedded audio (including browser notifications and the 'homemade' variety), not just here. And Boggo is correct, on Chrome, the stream isn't open. This isn't specific to Homecoming Servers, but how Firefox works. I'd mention it to them as a possible bug. 1 Inactive account.
