Internet Audio & Security Settings

[dependableJoe]

Hello,

I am developing a website that plays audio upon request by the user, ie they press a button.

On most machines this works fine. However, one one particular machine the audio does not play, this machine has a lot of security features which have been enabled. But I don't know what was done to this machine.

I set all of the IE security settings to Default to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea what I need to change so the audio will play?

I don't know where to begin. We're going to need a lot more information.

1. How are you streaming the audio? Flash? HTML? External media player?
2. Security features? What programs are you using for the security features?
3. We're probably going to need to know "what was done to this machine" - who operates it? Can you ask them?
4. Can you give us a link to the website? Could help.

Ok, I will do the best I can, sorry I was short on info. The playback is audio from a CAPTCHA servlet written in-house.

>1. How are you streaming the audio? Flash? HTML? External media player?
The servlet sends audio/x-wav to the browser in the response.

        response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store");
        response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
        response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
        //flush content in the response
        response.setContentType("audio/x-wav");
        ServletOutputStream responseOutputStream =
            response.getOutputStream();
        responseOutputStream.write(captchaChallengeAsWav);

I wrote the generated audio to a file and that plays fine. It's just that when IE/FireFox receives the audio, it isn't played.

>2. Security features? What programs are you using for the security features?
From what I can tell, something was changed in the OS, like a group policy or some sort of registry setting.

>3. We're probably going to need to know "what was done to this machine"
Yeah, if I knew that I wouldn't be here!

>Can you ask them?
I'll look into that, but am not optimistic.

>4. Can you give us a link to the website? Could help.
I would like to, but it's behind a firewall.

I know that is not very much, but...
Thank you for helping.
