- Open your class
- Click on "Options" then select "Display settings"
- Scroll down to find "Play award sounds" and make sure both boxes are checked
If that's not the issue, here are some additional steps you can take:
- See if you can recreate this issue when using the latest version of Google Chrome (this is the most powerful browser and will run our site the best. You can download Chrome for free here.
- If you're using Chrome, you can check your browser version here.
- Check if the sounds work from your home computer when connected to your personal internet. Sometimes schools accidentally block access to our servers and the sound will not work. If this is the case, it should be a super quick fix for your IT department.
iOS
Please note that sounds will not play on your iOS device if you are running ClassDojo on a web browser. You'll need to use the ClassDojo iOS app. Download the app through the App Store or by going here.

- Make sure that your device's volume is on and turned up (and that your ringer is not set to silent or vibrate)
- Tap on the "Settings" app
- Scroll down and tap on the "ClassDojo" app
