sounds not working while playing online on safari?

Hi all!

Little update

As Toadofsky wrote, Chrome works well, and until Apple update their Safari, I'll use Chrome.
It would be great if Lichess could reenable sound, I'm losing every game because I fail to see an opponents move nearly every game. Currently I have to use chess.com which has no such problems. Sad to leave lichess though.
Having the same problem. Saying Safari doesn't fully support HTML 5 is misleading. No browser fully support the HTML 5 standard, this is no excuse to not make sound work in a major browser like Safari.

Very funny idea, the right click: Safari immediately deadlocked and had to be killed from the command line afterwards :-(
RAMSESXIII, thanks!

Worked for me! Wondering why this option changed its settings by itself!?

Anyway, thanks again.
If one goes for the settings of the webpage via the menu, then everything can be set to "allowed" for lichess and chess.com and everything works like a charm! Thanks @RAMSESXIII
Hi, y’all!
Another solution to this problem could be allowing auto-play with sound in the settings of Safari. The blocking is a new feature to avoid sound-ads and aggressive pages to spam videos and other garbage, it is a built-in feature of the browser. Just adjust the settings and it works perfectly again!
Yes, simple fix in Safari which will block sounds if it deems a website is using them more than normal:

Right-click on address bar > Settings For this Website > Auto Play > Allow all auto-play.
