To troubleshoot why the sound is not playing when scrolling to a specific section on your website using Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check audio settings: Ensure that the audio file is set up correctly in the Webflow Designer. Double-check that the audio file format is supported by the HTML5 audio tag, such as MP3 or WAV.

  2. Verify interactions: If you have set up interactions in Webflow, such as scroll-based animations or actions triggered by scroll, make sure the audio file is properly linked to the interaction. Check the trigger event and make sure it is set to play the audio file when reaching the desired section.

  3. Test in different browsers: Test your website in different browsers to ensure that the issue is not specific to one browser. Sometimes, certain browsers may have limitations or restrictions on autoplaying audio, so it's important to check compatibility across different browsers.

  4. Review scroll settings: Check the scroll settings for the section where the audio should play. Make sure the section is set to "Overflow: Visible" so that the scroll listener can detect when the section is in view.

  5. Verify audio volume: Check the volume settings for the audio file. It's possible that the volume is set too low or muted by default. Adjust the volume settings to ensure that it is audible when the section comes into view.

  6. Clear browser cache: Clear your browser cache to ensure that any outdated files or settings are not causing issues with the audio playback.

If you are still experiencing issues with the audio not playing when scrolling to the #counter section on your Webflow website after following these steps, it may be helpful to reach out to the Webflow community or Webflow support for further assistance.
