Sound settings

You control two kinds of game sound: Music (soundtracks and background loops) and Sound effects (short sounds for dice, cards, moves and the start of your turn). Each game decides which of its sounds are music and which are effects.

Setting	Where	Applies to
Music and Sound effects switches	Settings, General tab, Sound	Every game, on every device you sign in on

Account sound preferences control music and sound effects for every game. Example data from the local development UI. Select the image to enlarge.

In a match

Open the sound menu with the speaker button in the match's controls. On a phone, tap Sound in the match drawer. The menu says what you hear at this table, for example "You hear sound effects only. Music is off at this table." Default follows your own setting, which shows in brackets, such as Default (On).

The match sound menu can override account preferences for just this match. Example data from the local development UI. Select the image to enlarge.

If you hear nothing

The speaker button shows only in games that have sounds. A game with no music has nothing for the Music switch to play. Your browser plays a game's sound only after you have selected something on the page, so select a control or make a move.

If a game's sound still does not play, tell us the game, your browser and the sound from the Contact page.
