Guides

When the Azan does not play

No sound, interrupted playback or low volume can often be traced to device volume, audio routing or connection settings.

First checks

Confirm the device is not muted, that the correct prayers are enabled, and that the schedule has not been paused by a quiet-hours setting.

Audio routing

A paired Bluetooth speaker in another room will silently take the audio with it. Unpair to test, then re-pair deliberately.

Restart safely

Power-cycle the device before resetting it. A factory reset usually erases your city and method and creates a second problem.

Browser-based playback

If you are using a browser clock, audio needs a tap on the page first and stops when the tab is closed. That is a browser rule, not a fault.
