Problem from freesound web site. They change some thing in since April.

No problem with sound in Google Chrome. Example can play this and hear it in Google Chrome:

I believe the problem is from the old Mac OS not being able to update to the latest Chrome. I am on 10.11 and I have the same issue. I think it is something to do with Freesound too because no browser I try works at this point. But my computer is very old so it is getting to be time for a new one I suppose.

Hi,
I don't know if Firefox is available for Mac, but I have a very old PC (bought in 2008 ) running an old win XP SP3 32 bits, and up to now, Firefox works perfectly with Freesound, whereas Chrome doesn't even load the website...

You're welcome ! Happy to help !
Well, I just forgot to mention that you may encounter issues for uploading flac files. In my case, it seems impossible (but no problem to upload wav or mp3 files). Except this issue, everything works perfectly !

Jut to cofirm: Freesound doesn't work on old MacOS anymore. It's a pity. Love this website though
