Safari 15.0 doesn't play audio

Since I installed Safari 15.0, I can't get audio on sites like Google Translate. I just get a message "Can't playback audio. Try refreshing the page". Refreshing the page does nothing.


The settings for this website "allow all auto-play" and the speaker is unmuted.


The audio works fine on Google Chrome and Firefox.


Does anyone know how to fix the audio in Safari? Thanks!

Go the Safari on top left, then click preferences and then go to the end and click Advanced Tab, then check the box next to " Show Develop menu in menu bar". Now close preferences

Now Develop menu will show on the menus on top of safari click it and then go " Experimental Features" then uncheck " GPU process: Media"

now it is important to close safari by Quitting it from Safari menu then click "Quit Safari"

Now open Safari again and it should work now
