How to implement guide with <audio> element autoplaying in safari despite 'muted' attribute
Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer... I keep running into After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out... I'm working on a personal project and I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm working with a peculiar scenario with the `<audio>` element in my HTML5 application. I've set up an audio file to autoplay when the user visits the page, but it only works in Chrome and Firefox. In Safari, I receive the following behavior message in the console: `Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The play() request was interrupted by a call to pause()`. Here's the relevant portion of my code: ```html <audio id="myAudio" src="audio-file.mp3" autoplay muted></audio> ``` I've ensured that the audio file is correctly loaded and that the file path is valid. I also double-checked that the `muted` attribute is present, which I read is necessary for autoplay to work in Safari. I tried removing the `muted` attribute altogether and faced the same scenario—no autoplay occurred, and I received the same behavior message. I've gone through various forums, and some suggested using the `play()` method programmatically, but that hasn't yielded any different results. Here’s the JavaScript code I used: ```javascript const audio = document.getElementById('myAudio'); audio.play().catch(behavior => { console.behavior('behavior attempting to play audio:', behavior); }); ``` I also ensured that the audio file is in the correct format (MP3) and has the appropriate codecs. I'm testing this on Safari version 15.5 on macOS. Is there something I'm missing, or is this a known limitation in Safari's handling of the autoplay feature? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
