    Most browsers these days don't allow sound to be played until a page has been interacted with by the user.

    Much appreciated. On desktop Safari/Chrome/Edge the sound works fine, and is user activated. On iPhone and Mac Book Air user activation doesn't play the audio in Safari nor Chrome.

     

    One example of many sites with the capability (or lack thereof) is sitellites.com/whitehorse where clicking/tapping the sound button or pressing 's' on a keyboard starts the audio, or is supposed to anyway…
