Hi all,

took some time this Saturday do try to understand the issue on iOS with the audioplayer.
It seems related to some the HTTP user agent and/or play restrictions in iOS.

Tried to apply a fix, that could do the trick, but thus far only able to test in virtual environments, if people with iOAs7MacOS could test please post here if it works now or worse now destroyed something even?

Thanks a lot!
Cheers

Hi Johannes,

I just tested on Safari 14.1.2 on Mac OS Mojave, using this thread mp3s https://www.norduserforum.com/nord-stag ... t2005.html and it works :thumbup:

Hi Johannes,

I just did a quick check on my iPhone (iOS 17.4) with some of the MP3s from this thread: https://www.norduserforum.com/nord-user ... 22009.html

These still don’t play on my iPhone, no sound :(

I confirm it still doesn't work on my iPad Pro with iOS (iPadOS) 17.x

Thanks. Can you try another browser? I assume safari?
And be sure that other websites DO reproduce sound?
Cause settings like no disturb 9r sound settings affect the website playback. Behavior.

you really don't have to do anything special to get MP3s to play, there is a player built into HTML5 that works on all modern browsers.

See reference here: https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.as ... _audio_all

Note you only need the single .mp3 line (meaning you don't have to use the .ogg file) shown on the linked sample page

<audio controls>
<source src="horse.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

I use Chrome and did the test there, but now also tried Safari with the same result. I honestly have not found other websites which have mp3 files embedded like here, do you have eventually a link with an example which I could try?
