## Add background music Product: Arche - Interactive Portfolio FSE WordPress Theme URL: https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/arche/styles-and-settings/background-audio Updated: 2026-10-30 Summary: Loop a track from your Media Library behind the site. Visitors start and stop it from the sound bars in the dock. Availability: Pro only. Arche Pro can loop one track behind the whole site. Visitors play and pause it with the sound bars in the dock. :::steps ### Upload the track Upload an MP3, OGG or M4A file in [[Media > Add Media File]]. ### Turn on background audio Go to [[Arche Pro > Theme Options > Arche > Audio]] and turn on **Background audio**. ### Pick the track Choose the file in **Track**, set **Volume** and save.

The Audio page of Theme Options with Background audio on, a track chosen in the Track field, Volume at 40% and Autoplay and Remember the choice on — The Audio page with a track chosen.

::: The sound bars appear in the dock after the search button. ## Settings :::options - **Background audio** (toggle, default: off): Adds the sound bars to the dock and loops the track. - **Track** (select): An audio file from the Media Library. - **Volume** (range 0 to 100%, default: 40): How loud the track plays. - **Autoplay** (toggle, default: on): Music starts with the page. Where the browser holds sound back, it starts with the first click, tap or key press. - **Remember the choice** (toggle, default: on): A visitor who turns the music on or off finds it the same on the next visit. The choice is kept in the visitor's browser. ::: ## Good to know - With **Barba** as the page transition provider the music keeps playing from page to page. With **View Transitions** each page loads in full and the track picks up at the same second. - While **Remember the choice** is on, Autoplay never overrules a visitor who turned the music off. - Phones get no sound bars and no music. Below 600px the dock holds only the menu button.
