I have embedded the Soundcloud widget on my website here: http://www.jackcarnoldmusic.co.uk/music/

…however, on Safari 6.1 (the latest version), no audio plays. There is no error returned, and the time counter and play cursor move, but no sound comes out. Same page loaded in other browsers, including IOS7, work fine. What is it that Safari 6.1 is doing to stop the audio, and how do I get around it?

Thanks

I solved this same problem as follows:

Safari - Preferences - Advanced - unchecked Internet plug-ins (Stop plug-ins to save power)

Reloaded my page with embedded Soundcloud widget & I now get the audio to stream.

This new Safari feature causes other plug-ins to have a similar problem. Not sure what Apple is thinking sometimes...
