No Sound on BBC iplayer

[diode84]

Hello
I have a Lenovo Tab S8 I want to use as a simple BBC news player in the morning. Its old but has almost. never been used. When I power it up Lenovo sound plays loudly. It runs Android 4.4.2 but does get BBC sounds on its browsers but none will play any sound. What am I doing wrong apart from buying a new tablet.
Help appreciated. Thanks diode84

Unfortunately you'll need a newer Android device. BBC iPlayer requires Android 7.0 or newer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/help/questions/supported-devices/use-mobile-tablet

Thanks Laura. thats a bit of a blow. Its not supported by lineageos otherwise I could do that. Its almost never been used.
Thanks anyway.

Alternatively access BBC Sounds / iPlayer via a browser. I find Chrome is the best for media playing.

I have an old Android 7 tablet and as apps update to need a newer version this is how I continue to use the services - for example, Youtube in my case.
