Hi; The music and sounds are not working in my code which worked yesterday. I put a music block in a new project, and it does not work either which indicated the sound blocks are not working. Please let me know when this will get fixed. THANK YOU! The students LOVE ARCADE and ALL the microbit projects.

Richard,
The problem with sounds is fixed.
I’m not sure what keeps happening, but my sounds keep getting switched. I have never had so many problems with Windows since the 1980. This is the 4th time this happened. The sound was working fine the night before. Then it somehow changed. I realize it when I was not able to listen to YouTube and I emailed you support .
Sorry for the inconvenience. I need to let Windows 11 people know. Or else maybe I am getting hacked. This is frustrating as a teacher for after school Robotics classes.
