This worked. Delete my mp3 file and upload your own mp3 file.
<button id="ASong" onClick="playPause()">
<audio
src="file_example_MP3_700KB.mp3"
autoplay
loop
></audio>
Song
</button>
<script>
var aud = document.getElementById("ASong").children[0];
var isPlaying = false;
aud.pause();
function playPause() {
if (isPlaying) {
aud.pause();
} else {
aud.play();
}
isPlaying = !isPlaying;
}
</script>

I apologize for the lack of any code here, I am extremely new to HTML and am trying to create a personal website. I want to play a silly sound effect for when you click on anything on this page, but i can't seem to find suitable code, or just code that makes any sense to me.
I want the audio to be able to replay, not take you to the source of the audio, y know, just a simple sound effect.
If you don't want to mess with HTML elements:
var audio = new Audio('audio_file.mp3');
audio.play();
function play() {
var audio = new Audio('https://interactive-examples.mdn.mozilla.net/media/cc0-audio/t-rex-roar.mp3');
audio.play();
}<button onclick="play()">Play Audio</button>This uses the HTMLAudioElement interface, which plays audio the same way as the <audio> element.
If you need more functionality, I used the howler.js library and found it simple and useful.
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/howler/2.1.1/howler.min.js"></script>
<script>
var sound = new Howl({
src: ['https://interactive-examples.mdn.mozilla.net/media/cc0-audio/t-rex-roar.mp3'],
volume: 0.5,
onend: function () {
alert('Finished!');
}
});
sound.play()
</script>It's easy, just get your audio element and call the play() method:
document.getElementById('yourAudioTag').play();
Check out this example: http://www.storiesinflight.com/html5/audio.html
This site uncovers some of the other cool things you can do such as load(), pause(), and a few other properties of the audio element.
If you only need to support recent browsers, then HTML 5 offers you the Audio object
to load/buffer your sound:
var snd = new Audio("file.wav");
to play the sound:
snd.play();
to re-cue it to the beginning (so that you can play it again):
snd.currentTime=0;
This answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/7620930/1459653 by @klaustopher (https://stackoverflow.com/users/767272/klaustopher) helped me. He wrote:
HTML5 has the new
<audio>-Tag that can be used to play sound. It even has a pretty simple JavaScript Interface:
<audio id="sound1" src="yoursound.mp3" preload="auto"></audio> <button onclick="document.getElementById('sound1').play();">Play it</button>
Here's how I implemented his advice so that clicking on the Font Awesome icon "fa-volume-up" (located on the Web page after "mule.") results in "donkey2.mp3" sound playing (note: mp3 doesn't play in all browsers).
<p>In short, you're treated like a whole person, instead of a rented mule. <audio id="sound1" src="assets/donkey2.mp3" preload="auto"></audio><a class="icon fa-volume-up" onclick="document.getElementById('sound1').play();"></a>
You can use the html5 audio tag. You can specify your own controls for playback.
<audio preload="auto" autobuffer>
<source src="elvis.mp3" />
<source src="elvis.wav" /> <!-- fallback if no mp3 support in browser -->
</audio>
This is a jQuery solution.
http://jsfiddle.net/QPW27/109/
This is what your non-jQuery solution would look like.
var foo = document.getElementById('player');
foo.pause(); //just bind play/pause to some onclick events on your page
foo.play();
Different browsers support different audio formats. You can specify fallback audio versions though. This website has a nice chart of browser support as of July 2011.
Hopefully, in a few years, the HTML5 audio API will be supported accross more browsers, but currently, playing sounds requires either a lot of browser-specific hacks to get things working, or reliance on a browser plugin like flash.
In the meantime, I reccomend using SoundManager2. It's fairly easy to work with and will involve much less headache than doing it yourself.
Now there's a way to do it. Put this: <audio src="sounds/game-welcome.mp3" style="display:none;" autoplay> (Replace sounds/game-welcome.mp3 with your file)
You could do this:
<embed src="blah.wav" autostart=false loop=false>
... but playing sound without flash is evil and will lead to issues cross browser even if there is some solutions.
You could also use HTML5 and the audio tag:
<audio src="horse.ogg" controls="controls">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>
... but this won't be supported by all browsers.
EDIT: For a flash player you could use this one or this very simple one... there are tons! Try out examples and see what's best for you.
