SYMPTOMS

When you open a Web page that contains a background sound object, the sound object continues to play until the sound file is finished, even though you may have jumped to another Web page.

RESOLUTION

To stop the sound object, return to the Web page that contains the background sound object, click Background Sound on the Insert menu, and then click Stop.

NOTE: You must be on the Web page that contains the background sound object. If you are on another Web page, clicking Stop has no effect.

STATUS
