Make sure your speakers are turned on and connected. When you play the word, your media player will pop up over the top of this page, minimise it rather than closing. The first time you play a word it may seem to contain clicks or pops. Play it again from your media player for a clean signal. This site was designed for a very large number of sound files, you should be able to jump back to the top with the up key symbol.
