Questions tagged [html5-audio]

The audio element is used to embed sound content in an HTML or XHTML document. The audio element was added as part of HTML5.

HTML5 defines a new element which specifies a standard way to embed an audio file on a web page: the <audio> element.

The control attribute adds audio controls, like play, pause, and volume.
You should also insert text content between the <audio> and </audio> tags for browsers that do not support the <audio> element.
The <audio> element allows multiple <source> elements. <source> elements can link to different audio files. The browser will use the first recognized format.
