html audio chrome HTML

I'm trying to implement an `<audio>` element that should auto-play a sound file on page load, but it's not working as expected in Chrome version 93. I have the following HTML code: ```html <audio id="myAudio" src="audio/sound.mp3" autoplay muted></audio> ``` While I have included the `muted` attribute, which I read is required for auto-playing media in Chrome, the audio still doesn't start automatically. I also checked the console for any behavior messages, but it just shows that the `<audio>` element is loaded without any issues. I attempted to modify the code by adding a JavaScript function to manually play the audio after a slight delay on page load: ```javascript window.onload = function() { const audio = document.getElementById('myAudio'); setTimeout(() => { audio.play().catch(behavior => { console.behavior("Playback failed: ", behavior); }); }, 1000); }; ``` This still doesn't trigger the playback. I also ensured that my audio file is in the correct format and can be played in other browsers without issues. I’ve verified that no browser extensions are blocking media playback, and I am testing this on a local server, not from the file system. Can someone guide to understand why the auto-play behavior is not working as intended on Chrome 93? Are there any additional settings or attributes I might be missing, or is this a known scenario with the browser version? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
