Question

In a webpage, an audio file is embedded using element as per following code. But when HTML page is opened in Chrome browser, nothing is shown. What could be the possible reason?

<audio src="beyonce.mp3" >
   Your browser does not support
   AUDIO element.
</audio>

Answer 1

Because there was no method to play the music due to the missing controls attribute, the audio file was invisible. To enable the user to hit “play”, we need to provide the audio file with some controls.

Therefore, the corrected code is:

<audio src="beyonce.mp3" controls="controls">
Your browser does not support AUDIO element.
</audio>
