Description

Hey there!

Just came across this. Regarding the audio auto play issue in the README, I came across the audio issue on theswanstation.net too. It seems that once the user interacts with the page by clicking a button or a link, it allows audio sounds to be played automatically. This is for both Chrome and Safari.

Maybe add a small welcome dialog when the page first loads that the user dismisses? This would count as a user interaction and allow audio to play.

My site seemed to have this issue as well but there are multiple links and buttons, so as long as the user clicks a link or button the audio works fine.

Research direction

Start with the audio autoplay note in the README and trace where the page begins audio playback after loading. Compare the behavior in Chrome and Safari, then determine whether a dismissible welcome dialog reliably enables playback and verify that audio works after dismissal.
