audio not displaying properly

Question

<audio controls>
<source src="file:///Users/admin/Downloads/shiftMeditation.mp3" type="audio/mp3">
Audio element not supported by your browser
</audio>

I had tried with a wav file first, but both times it merely displayed a quick image of the player before it disappears completely. On Firefox. Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

Make sure the audio format that you are using is supported by the browser and you have the latest version of Firefox. Till now it's only Google Chrome that supports all the major audio formats. Try the .OGG format because both Firefox and opera support OGG for sure

Answer 2

best check HTML5 support of you current web browser
