I can’t hear Drystone Radio on my computer
This could be one of several things:
- Do you have a sound card on your computer? You can check this by looking in Control Panel then Sounds & Audio Devices. Click on the Audio tab and check you have a soundcard listed in the Playback area.
- Check your speakers are working properly. Check they are switched on and plugged into the back of your computer.
- Is the volume turned up on your computer? Check the volume button on the toolbar at the bottom right of your screen (shaped like a speaker) and ensure the main volume is not muted or too low. Also check the volume control on your monitor or the side of your laptop.
- Is the volume turned up on your media player? Ensure the volume is turned up on your chosen media player (eg: Windows Media Player/RealOne Player/Winamp, etc)
- Is the Drystone Radio logo flashing on the top right of the Home Page? If not, Drystone Radio is not broadcasting at this time. You will find the broadcast hours listed underneath the Drystone Radio logo at the top of the Home Page. You can, however, listen to the pre-recorded interviews and programmes whenever you want simply by clicking the ‘Play’ button next to each article.
I can’t ‘Play’ any of the audio next to the articles
If the audio box appears but will not play, you may not have a Java-enabled browser. To download Java to your browser, navigate to http://www.clipstream.com/help/visitorhelp.shtml. This page will tell you if your computer is already Java enabled, or if you need to download it and how.
