Audio tag support varies by browser. Did you check support on the browser you are using? Did you try it without jQuery Mobile?

Chrome and Safari mobile don’t allow it.

In general, mobile browsers are less willing to let websites take control of certain functionality without direct user interaction with a browser of system-supplied control.

This typically includes:

- Sending email

- making phone calls

- sending text messages

- using the camera

Audio is more of an annoyance, but I suppose the reasoning is similar.

Thanks,

Simulated user interaction doesn’t count. I’ve tried it!

Indeed, I tried to run the application directly from the Android Chrome, and it also doesn't work. But I tried it with Android Firefox and it works perfectly.

Maybe it belongs to the behavior of Chrome (maybe Safari from iOS too)

I have successfully set up a web page with the fullscreen.js formatting. Works perfectly on my safari desktop browser. The fullscreen.js ‘afterLoad’ function stops and starts the video and separate audio tracks on my desktop and plays a new audio track using the same ‘after load’ when you scroll down the page. 

 However on iPad it only stops and starts the video and audio track. Which suggests that it is possible to control the playing of video and separate audio somehow.  How can I get it to play a different audio track. (Please note the audio music is NOT part of the video, the video has no audio and is set to mute). Please let me know if you want my code here. For now here is a link to the site in progress;

You will have to view this on an iPad to hear that the second audio doesn't work as you scroll down.
