Before following any of the steps below, search our known issues to check whether you are experiencing a known problem.

Having problems with ��̳ Sounds on your computer? Try the following steps:

Step 1: Clear your cache
When you clear the cache on your internet browser, you’re removing data your browser has stored on your computer. This can be a very useful first step in trying to resolve a problem. For instructions, visit the How do I clear the cache? page.
Step 2: Try an alternative browser
If you find that you’re not able to play programmes on ��̳ Sounds then you may wish to try a different browser. You’ll find a list of compatible browsers on our Can I use ��̳ Sounds on my computer? page.
