Not workin in translation challenge #104

Closed Nudin closed 3 years ago

Nudin commented 3 years ago

In the course Spanish for German speaker there is one type of questions where the controls are missing: Bildschirmfoto

According to your explanation in this issue, I extracted the challenge type to be challenge challenge-translate.

Thanks for the addon, finally a way to change the volume for duo!

Actually, the extension only applies to listening challenges.

I did consider at the time developing another small extension focused on providing a global volume control, then came across a discussion where someone suggested using the Volume Master extension, which seemed to fit perfectly, and even allowed to increase the volume over 100% (should have checked the browser support..).

Anyway, someone has since developed a userscript that should also do the trick. It doesn't seem to handle the case where the howler.js library is not used, but I'm not sure if that's still relevant (the web_remove_howler A/B test still exists though).

I'll keep this issue opened, because in hindsight there's probably still room for a new browser extension, especially given that it should also be possible to provide a control for each type of sound.

This type of challenge is now (at last!) supported in version 2.0.0 .

Also, in case you might be interested, I'm currently working on another extension to provide fine-grained volume controls (by sound type and by context), which should be available soon.
