Well I went to the code and saw, setStatus(0, 1) has to be set to make that get hit. Hopefully this helps someone else out.
If you put a breakpoint with Firebug on the vh_audioProgress it never gets hit. If you do that and confirm it doesnt work for you, then something is going on.

I dont see any kind of progress callback, not sure what you mean by that. The vh_audioProgress never gets hit returning any kind of percentage.
Or enabled for that matter, it never gets hit.
Please go here and http://ppe.ara.pearsoncmg.com/Avatar/... and you can see that it doesn't work with sound cards disabled.
Is this with dynamic text (sayText)? We arent using preloaded audio files.
So there is no other way to detect this so we can show an error message? Nothing from your technical team that can provider an answer? I made another post about an error callback which you would think would be necessary for an API.
Yes rare but if you have user impaired users that dont have sound cards that is a user who are forgetting about.
The vh_audioProgress doesn't get hit. Is there another way around this. This is a super important user experience issue if we can show the user a message saying the sound card doesn't work.
