The social network "VKontakte" offers users a wide selection of all kinds of entertainment, including listening to music. However, sometimes audio recordings do not work due to internet connection problems and other reasons.
Connection problems
Check your internet connection status. Sometimes it can be interrupted in unexpected ways that go unnoticed by the user. You can check the network status by clicking on the corresponding icon in the system tray, as well as try to perform other actions without leaving the social network. As soon as the connection is established in a new way, refresh the page and try to play the selected track again.
Problems with the site
Users of the VKontakte social network often complain about various problems that arise when using the site, and problems with the music player are no exception. Try to wait a while, refresh the page, or log out of your profile and log in again. If the problem is really internal, the administration should quickly fix it. You can speed this up by contacting support from the link at the bottom of the home page.
Outdated browser
Try updating your browser with the latest version of the Flash service as well. This is what can cause problems with playing music. If all else fails, change the browser and try to perform the necessary actions in a new one.
Sound Card Problems
The sound card of a computer, like other devices, can intermittently fail. Try other sound-related actions on your computer, such as starting one of the games or the system player. If there is no sound there, then the problem is really with the hardware or software. Install the latest drivers for the card and specify the appropriate sound settings. Pay attention to the volume settings and make sure the slider is high enough.
Sound hardware problems
Check if the audio playback devices are properly connected to the computer. Sometimes users mistakenly plug the plug from headphones or speakers into the wrong jack, which prevents sound from playing. Also, check your audio device wires for scuffs, cracks, or tears. If the device refuses to work, you need to replace it.
Other problems
Clear the cache in your browser and check the system for viruses. All kinds of malware and system codes can turn off the sound in various applications. After cleaning is complete, restart your computer.
