When I click a button my audio won't play

I made a button and then made it so it sends playAudio() on click of itself. self.

I tried to get it to send a message to the function to do it, and I think that works fine. I think JavaScript is the part that doesn't work.

<body>
    <button class="playAudio" onclick="playAudio()">Play audio</button>
</body>

const audio = new Audio("C:UsersjbrirDocumentsBowgartWebsite2audioBowgart_sample.mp3e");

function playAudio() {
  audio.play();
}

I expected it to play the audio, but it ended up playing nothing.

Solution

  • I think you have the issue in the path.

    Please try to do like this, C:/.../file.mp3

    code.

    <button class="playAudio" onclick="playAudio()">Play audio</button>

<script>const audio = new Audio(
    "C:/Users/jbrirDocumentsBowgartWebsite2audioBowgart_sample.mp3"
  );
  
  function playAudio() {
    audio.play();
  }</script>
