Live Streaming help


I click on the “Listen Live” button, but nothing happens.

  • The new live player runs in a pop-up window. If you have any form of Flashblock software installed or a pop-up blocker, make sure that you approve running of flash on our site and make an exception for allowing pop-ups. Also, be sure your browser is running in its most current, updated version.
  • If your memory or cache file folders are full, you may experience audio streaming errors. Try emptying your Temporary Internet cache folder, and any additional temporary files, such as the contents of the recycling bin. You might also try to restart or reboot your computer to free up more of the system memory.

If you’re still having trouble accessing our live stream player, email us Feedback@wdet.org.

Clear your browsing history and your cache to ensure that data or past log-in information is not kept in your browser files.

The audio sounds choppy, or cuts out and buffers frequently.

Buffering occurs when your computer is not receiving data fast enough; the buffering, or cutting out, occurs when the player tries to catch up. It may be caused by Internet congestion or insufficient bandwidth, possibly due to other bandwidth intensive activities (ie. other streaming, numerous downloads). Closing some other windows and applications may help. 

The Live player loads, but no audio is playing.

The stream may be temporarily off line. Please try again later.

You also may experience periodic outages in our stream as we comply with Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) rules.
