Hello, This demo playground > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#KBA3JY%234)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL 3D scenes from Babylon’s official tutorial on handling sound autoplay > **[Audio | Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/features/featuresDeepDive/audio/playingSoundsMusic#handling-autoplay--unlocking-audio-on-first-user-interaction)** > > Dive into everything you could want to know about using the Babylon.js sound engine for simple to advanced audio. works as expected on iPhone 11 / Safari - music starts playing on tap. However, it does not work on iPhone14Pro / Safari. No matter how I tap / click the canvas, I am not getting sound. (my iPhone14Pro is on iOS 16.7.2) Please let me know how sound autoplay should be handled on iPhone14 Thank you ---

I found a very ugly work-around. To make this work on iPhone14, I need to play on background a video that has zero-volume sound (note this video cannot be muted and it cannot be a video with stripped sound) Here is my playground > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#KBA3JY%2321)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL 3D scenes I hope someone has anything less ugly than that ---

Is the iPhone ring/silent switch on the left side of the device set to allow sound? ![Screenshot 2023-10-26 134030](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/5/0/503a4e4866ccf3b9648063c914bc0ed2a5649018.png) ---

@DavidP Hey, please try this one, i removed the check if audioEngine is already unlocked, it acts a bit strange sometimes. Afraid i don’t have any IOS devices to test it with. > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#KBA3JY%2323)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL 3D scenes ---

There may be a related Safari bug with bluetooth. Try closing Safari, turning off bluetooth, and re-opening Safari to see if that gets it working. ---
