EOS (and maybe Flashtease) sound in Opera browser

[retispent]

Hi all,

Opera browser has not played any sounds for me for the past couple weeks when using EOS teases. May also be flash, I can check. I have looked around for settings in site and browser settings that might explain, but no luck. Any ideas? Anyone else run into this?

Thanks!

I use Opera GX and I tried also on Opera, sound works for both EOS and flash teases for me; sorry I don't know how to help.

Maybe check for updates for the browser.

Edit: well, crap, now it happened to me too. I guess the issue is on the latest versions of opera. I see that an error arise in the console while it doesn't appear in other browsers

Same Issue here and I've just updated to the newest version, works on Chrome though.

Same issue here - works on other browsers, but not Opera.

The issue is caused by the audio libary howler.js as it has a bug which falsly identifies opera versions over and equal to 100 only by the first two digits (v100 -> v10) and this causes it to not play audio since it requires at least version 33 (https://github.com/goldfire/howler.js/pull/1676).

This can be fixed by:
1: updating the howler libary from its curent version (2.1.3) to the newest version (2.2.4) which fixes this issue. (no idea whos job that would be)
2: downgrading opera to a version between 33 and 99 (or wait for version 330+)
3: overwriting the problematic file with a fixed version yourself (this is a bit technical):
Sadly this only works if you load the tab with devtools open (you can close them afterwards)

Spoiler: show

- open a eos tease with audio
- open devtools (Ctrl+Shift+I / opera-symbol > developer > developer tools)
- switch to the network tab
- reload the page
- Ctrl+F inside the network-tab
- search for /OPR\/([0-6].)/g (thats the bug)
- click on the result (something like 8.edd8d7f6.chunk.js)
- right-click > overwrite content OR right-click > open in source-panel + right-click > overwrite content
- you will probably be promted to choose a folder on your PC and then again for access to the folder.
This folder will contain the overwrite so don't delete or move it
- search again for /OPR\/([0-6].)/g
- replace with /OPR\/(\d+)/g (thats the fix from the newest version)
- Ctrl+s to save

4: use the extension i made (https://github.com/Zer000reZ/opera-eos-audio-fix)
