Did they turn their sound on? xd

The audio system scripts are for the gateway/vision only, but the component should be fine i think.

The audio component relies on browser autoplay, as does the video component. Browsers often restrict autoplay--only the user can turn it on.

Yeah the clients might have to allow sounds in their browser settings for the perspective site
