Answer 1

You can't , most browsers don't allow audio to play on it's own you need some user gesture to play the audio .

Like have a onclick event handler function on window and play the audio inside it. When user click anywhere on window , it will play it.

Also there is a howler js library that i have heard can help in playing it without user interaction.

Answer 2

You have to use user event like click, dblclick, .... to initiate audio.play() action.
