Why doesn't music play on VK (VKontakte)?


Playing music requires speed!

The most common problem is insufficient Internet speed. First, read how to measure your speed. If it is lower than 200-300 Kbps, then there will be problems with playing high-quality music. And if it is lower than 100Kbps, then most tracks will slow down. I assure you that media content (video, music) requires a more or less good connection.

In principle, at low speeds caching should help, i.e. when you press “Play” and immediately pause. Then you wait until the bar is full and turn on the track again.

If you are sure that you should have good speed, but the tests showed very little, then contact your Internet provider so that they can sort out the problem. Okay, let’s say everything is fine with the speed and the rest of the sites “fly”.

Solution

A few days later, I remembered this problem again when I wanted to listen to music in the application again. Moreover, the music can be easily played if you log into the social network through a browser on your phone, i.e. The problem is in the application itself. I went back and read the reviews and thought that maybe the reason was regional, they were blocking by region, since I already had a similar problem with the Kinopoisk application - and they couldn’t help me with support.

I changed the region to Russia in Apple ID - the same result. I updated the application, expecting that the update would fix the bug - but no. All to no avail.

Flash player performance

Next, you need to make sure Adobe Flash Player is working correctly. This is a special module that all browsers use to play music, videos and run Flash games. If there is no flash player, then most likely there will be a message like this:

No Adobe Flash Player

I advise you to read in more detail how to install Flash Player. Also note that in the Google Chrome browser this module is built in from birth. By the way, it is recommended to update the module to the latest version in all browsers. To do this, you must first remove the old one, then install the new one.

After you install the plugin for any other browser, check if music is played in Contact. There is also another known problem in chrome, try it if nothing helps. If this was not the problem, then move on.

Music does not play in vk on iphone

There are two solutions here. If you are using the official VKontakte application version 2.2, then you need to manually enter the address of the page with audio recordings. Here she is.

https://vk.com/audios

The thing is that in the new version of the application, it was blocked. But you can still log in by entering the address manually.

Another option is to roll back the version of the application. You need 2.0 - audio recordings worked fine in it.

And don't forget to check if you have the latest version of Flashplayer on your phone.

Checking your computer for viruses

The social network VKontakte is home to millions of people! Accordingly, there are many scammers who want to infect these people. It is likely that your problems are due to some kind of virus. Check your computer with your antivirus program, or better yet, with one-time virus scanning utilities like DrWeb CureIt! and Kaspersky Antivirus Removal Tool. Read more about them here. It’s very bad if a reliable antivirus is not installed on the system, and in this case, any of these programs will be very helpful.

If viruses are found, I also advise you to change all passwords that were remembered in the browser. It's no secret that most Trojans steal all the passwords they can get their hands on, so don't delay.

Description of the problem

Out of habit, I went to VK and turned on the track for listening in the public - and in the end I received nothing. I thought - maybe a new composition and it has already been blocked, this happens. The problem is the following - you click on the track and immediately after the play button the pause button works.

I went to the AppStore to look at the reviews, usually massive bugs are immediately written about in the comments. And alas, all the latest reviews are almost exclusively about this problem. Under many reviews, the developer encourages you to contact technical support, which is exactly what I asked myself.

Problems with the operating system or computer

If the system is cluttered after the indiscriminate installation of programs, especially with “breaker” programs, the stability of the computer may well be disrupted. Accordingly, problems may arise and the music will not play normally. Here we need an integrated approach; we need to clean or reinstall the system.

To begin with, I would recommend rolling back to an earlier restore point, at a time when everything was still working as it should. Well, if it doesn’t help, then reinstall the entire system. If you are unable to do this yourself, then ask a specialist you know.

If after pressing the “Play” button the audio recording bar turns blue, i.e. the music loads, but there is no sound, then most likely there is a problem with the audio device. In this case, there should be no sound on other sites. Read my article on how to solve this problem of lack of sounds.

There may also be a problem with the Internet protocol IPv6 (if you have Windows 7/8/10). To check and exclude this option, do the following:

  1. Go to “Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center”
  2. Go to "Change adapter settings" on the left
  3. Select your network connection, right-click and click "Properties"
  4. Uncheck the box next to “Internet Protocol Version 6”

    Disabling IPv6

  5. Click OK and reboot

If it doesn’t help, then it’s better to return the checkbox back.

And also, of course it’s completely stupid
