I just visited a hub. As I began to scroll down, I heard an audio (sounded like Italian) playing. I thought it may have been a video capsule but found it was an ad playing at the bottom of the hub. Is this what's happening now?
See who is the sponsor. I had ad-ware self installed on my computer and had to remove it.
I have come across one of those video ads a couple of times. It is distracting.
Yeah, you can't read the hub with that loud audio playing.
I usually just turn my sound off when that happens. But sometimes I listen to music while I am on the computer, and it is especially distracting to hear something else play while my music is on. I haven't seen too many of those ads, so hopefully they won't be popular.
Thanks for taking time to report this.
We had a few reports of ads auto-playing audio over the weekend.
Usually these are rogue ads that Google finds and addresses.
If you still see one, please let us know.
Many times the best way to share information related to such ads is via a screenshot.
Report it in the Hubpages glitch forum. Ads are not meant to autoplay video.
I certainly will, Matt. By the time it stopped playing, there was a blacked out space in place of the ad. Will keep you informed.
I agree, that catching them while they are occurring it often not easy!

This probably isn't a bug, but it's annoying and I wish Hubpages wouldn't do it. There is an ad which plays sound appearing on some of my hubs. I think it's a cricket ad with the sound of a bat hitting a ball, and a crowd cheering. The ad is also one which appears right at the bottom of the page,...

I noticed yesterday that the videos I am posting from You tube have no sound. It is not my computer because other sites have plenty of sound.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel that far too many sites, including our writer's site here, our niche sites, as well as my other favorite sites where I most often read articles are allowing far too many ads.Sure, I understand that the "new thing" is to give advertisers a...

We're told to remove it from our text capsules by deleting unnecessary blank lines, but meanwhile there's often plenty of it above and below short, wide ads when they get stuffed between paragraphs in text capsules. The example below shows an ad between two lines of text.
