HTML5 Audio Element scenarios to Play on iOS Safari Despite Proper Setup
I'm working with an scenario where the HTML5 `<audio>` element does not play any audio files on iOS Safari, even though it works perfectly on other browsers..... I'm using the following code snippet to implement the audio player: ```html <audio id="myAudio" controls> <source src="audio/mySong.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"> Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio> ``` The audio file is correctly hosted, and I've confirmed that the file path is accessible. I've tried loading different audio formats like `.ogg` and `.wav`, but none of them work either. On Safari, I don't receive any behavior messages; the audio just doesn't play when I click the play button. I also made sure to check the following: - The Safari browser is updated to the latest version (Safari 16.1). - The audio file is not too large; it's around 3MB. - I have included the `muted` attribute in the `<audio>` tag and then attempted to play it through JavaScript, but it still won’t play. Here's the JavaScript snippet I used: ```javascript const audio = document.getElementById('myAudio'); audio.muted = true; audio.play(); ``` This works on desktop Safari but fails on mobile. Furthermore, I have looked into the requirement for user interaction to initiate playback on mobile devices. In my tests, I ensured that the play button is clicked directly by the user. I also checked the console for any potential CORS issues, but everything seems fine. Has anyone encountered a similar question or have suggestions on what could be going wrong here? Any ideas what could be causing this? This is my first time working with Html 3.9. What would be the recommended way to handle this?
