even on the sample recaptcha on the page, if i click the audio button,
the audio doesn't match or work at all.

this should really be addressed.

Hi,

Do you hear no sound at all? If you download the audio as an MP3 file
can you play it?

For more information please email us all of the following information:
 1. What browser are you using (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome,
Safari, etc.)?
 2. What version of the browser are you using?
 3. What browser extensions do you have installed? (e.g. AdBlock, etc.)
 4. Are you behind any firewalls or proxies?
 5. Does reCAPTCHA audio work if you use a different browser, or a
different computer?


Best,
The reCAPTCHA Team.

It sounds like a bunch of aliens, or satanic people doing a ritual. Its happening on the current Firefox 14.0.1 and Chrome 21.0.1180.79 m.

No Proxie or Firewall, Doesn't work in any of my browsers, No Extensions.

Finally! Someone who makes some sense!
I changed the IP on my machine and would just alternate between 2 IP addresses. When one stopped working, the other would have cleared the Black-List. 
Well done Dro

I've posted the MP3 that I downloaded from the Re-Captcha Site so you guys can hear what I'm hearing for yourself!

Same issue here.

Doesn't matter what browser I try it on (IE, FF, Chrome, android browser)

There also appears to be another thread relating to this

A little more context may be in order here.

Desk.com uses Recaptcha as the hardcoded captcha. Their suggestion to fix this issue was to remove the Recaptcha and hard code my own captcha into the site.

Both of these links you have posted are playing the audio all messed up as well though.

I know. I use recaptcha because its hard coded in out support site. The provider said to turn off recaptcha and find a different one. I'd rather not have to comment recaptcha out just to hard code another captcha.

Re-Captcha is great but hopefully they'll fix this issue. It's been like this for over a year now and when you can't read the words theres no way to tell what they are since the audio doesn't work

Yeah Same problem here. Ellucian is using it in one of their products we purchased.  Sounds like 5 aliens all talking at the same time.  I'm surprised no one from google has repsonded yet.
