Ok.
Could you please tell me more?

Is the last version working?

Hi Jay
I used Buzz js via a package from the https://atmospherejs.com/brentjanderson/buzz for a Meteor js Project, It works fine on desktop, but not on mobile, I don't know what's wrong here.

@jaysalvat recently, the library stopped working for the iPad (tested in mobile safari and chrome). In some cases it fails on safari on the desktop (like with the example below)... but I can get it working on safari for the desktop when the sound file is hosted locally. It's all quite perplexing :)

Interestingly, the demo still works in these cases. Here is a simple example with the latest 1.1.10 version, that doesn't work in mobile safari or mobile chrome on an iPad, or desktop safari (tested on windows and mac): http://jsbin.com/haluyoceza/1/edit

Hello @mikob.

As Buzz doc says:
http://buzz.jaysalvat.com/documentation/sound/
"* NOTE: In order to save bandwidth, mobile devices don't load/play sounds without user intervention (no autoplay). iPhone and iPad can only play one sound at a time and don't allow to change the volume dynamically. iPad has some issues with multiple sounds on the same page."

Try to trigger a sound with a click.

Hi @jaysalvat .
Question regarding your latest comment above, by triggering with a click may increase weight to DOM Manipulation & I don't think that's a precise solution, what about Android browsers ?

[mikob]

@jaysalvat thank you. I somehow missed that page on the documentation. That answers all my questions. @guruganeshm it seems both safari and chrome mobile disable autoplay on any platform. Opera mobile might behave differently.

[jaysalvat]

Thanks guys.

As @mikob says both safari and chrome mobile disable autoplay on any platform.

So I close the issue :)

[guruganeshm]

@mikob then what's the solution ? I don't have any idea, If you made it work on mobile devices somehow, please show me the code.
Thanks.

There is no solution. Smartphones don't allow autoplay and autoload.
Can't do much on that.
An user interaction is required.

Sorry.
