Sound notifications in Auto Refresh Plus (ARP) are triggered only when a Page Monitor event occurs, such as keyword detection, CAPTCHA, or error alerts. If no event is triggered, no sound will play.
How to Fix This
1. Check Notification Sound Settings (General Settings)
👉 https://account.autorefresh.io/notification-settings#play-sound
- Make sure sound playback is enabled
- Check that “Never play sound” is not selected
- Adjust playback duration and repeat count
- Also check the Volume settings and make sure the volume is set to an audible level
2. Ensure Monitoring Is Active (Popup)
Sound only plays when monitoring events occur.
- Open extension → Monitor
- Make sure:
- Keywords are set
- Monitoring mode is active
Without Page Monitor activity, no sound will be triggered.
3. Verify Custom Sound (If Used)
If using a custom sound:
- Make sure the URL is valid and loads properly
- Ensure the file is audible and not too short
- Test it directly in your browser
4. Check System Volume
- Ensure your device is not muted
- Check browser tab sound permissions
- Confirm other apps can play sound
Important Notes
- Sound notifications are event-based, not continuous
- They only trigger when a monitored condition is detected
- Notification settings are controlled globally
Summary
If sound notifications are not working, check your notification settings, ensure Page Monitor is active, and verify your system audio. Sound will only play when a valid event is detected.
