1. Upload the audio file into the File Manger and publish the file using the upload button on the top menu. Where is the file manager located?
2. Paste the following html code into your web page where you wish for the audio player controls to appear. How to add html code?
<audio controls>
<source src="music.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
<source src="music.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
Your browser does not support this audio format.
</audio>
3. Save & Publish the page
Important: Be sure to edit the name of the file name in the html code to match the name of the audio file you imported on step 1.
When the page is published, it will produce a nice clean looking audio player like shown below.
Chrome

Firefox

Internet Explorer

Safari

I have multiple Audio Files (Players) on a single page..
I have multiple Audio Files (Players) on a single page. It appears visitors using Google Chrome will access all audio files simultaneously. If visitors are using Internet Explorer or Firefox this does not happen. What can I do to correct this from happening.

Is there a way to make it play automatically using this code?

You should be able to yes. Be careful using to much auto play on a site. Typically most visitors want to hit the play button if they want to hear it. That being said, it might be appropriate to your site and business.
In the first line that says audio controls, add the word autoplay after controls, still inside the bracket.
Thanks

audio player plays automatically when setting is off.
When I put the audio player on my site and un-check the box that says "play automatically" the player plays as soon as you open that page. How do I get it to not play automatically?

This is a known issue with the built in player and Google Chrome. You will need to use a 3rd party player, or you can use these instructions to add the audio using HTML.

Hiding the Sound Player and Continuous Play.
I would like to hide the sound player and have it play automatically and continuously when the page loads. I checked the appropriate boxes but the player remains visible and I have to layer it behind the picture frame to hide it. I am okay with the sound if it just repeats once but I should be able to hide the player at least. Can you please help? Thanks

Some browsers are now ignoring the check boxes for those controls. Currently you will have to use the html5 code to do this. A slight change in the code for you should do the trick. If you just copy and paste this code, then make sure your audio file is called music.mp3.
<audio controls autoplay hidden>
<source src="music.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
<source src="music.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
Your browser does not support this audio format.

Using the Homestead audio player, the tracks begin as soon as the page loads. In the Audio Player Settings, "Play automatically" is unchecked. I have tried checking, then saving, then unchecking and saving. Have deleted and re-added the player. Nothing's working.

I am trying to put up MP3's and the player auto starts. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing so, it does not give me that option in the side bar. I want to put up 3 but they are all starting and playing at the same time.

I have also tried it taking out the line about the browser not supporting this format.
Is there something else I need to do? Can you use this info and show me what it should look like please?

I don't know that it can be done effectively. I have read of some players they claim they can, but then see comments by people that there are limitations. One was a flash player. That won't work on iphones. Some other methods require php, which Homestead doesn't support. So, if this can be done, then you will need to find a 3rd party player or see if you can find some HTML5 code to do it.

We have various sound files on our site. On some computers when you go to our site all the sound files start playing at once. Other computers click play and it works perfectly. Is there anything I can do in set up to prevent them from all playing automatically?

You do not have to do the whole page, just the media player, and if you need help you can ask here. Our agents don't support HTML, but here in the community we can help you with these types of snippets.

I re-designed "www.howareyouliving.com"; However, when I publish it, the URL that shows is "livingwell financial services." That is the pointer site and should not be showing. Also, my "Voice Services" page publishes but cannot be found when clicked in the navigator bar.

This is a known issue with Google Chrome. For now, you are best off using HTML to add the player. This will give each file the player controls

I'm working on http://williammurraycomposer.homestead.com/index.html I have not checked the "play automatically" box under audio player settings, but all of the audio files start playing automatically anyway. How do I correct this? Also, the audio player icons are distorted when published. How do I fix that?

Inserting the code brought up a good-looking audio player that didn't start automatically, but the sound, when played, is horribly distorted -- kind of "pixelated". Any ideas what's going on? Thanks!

The only problem with embedding the code is that you can adjust the size of the audio player. Apparently, this is a problem the developers need to work on.

Drew N, Alum
This is true and it is on the road map to update the media players, but there are still many backend things going on as a result of the sale from Intuit, so I can't give you an ETA at this time. There may be a 3rd party player that can do this, or you should be able to add some CSS code to the head tag in the Page Settings > Advanced, to define the width. Something like this,
<style>
audio { width: 200px; }
</style>
The number in the width is in pixels and you can change it as needed. This should work for you until the developers are able to revamp the built in players.
Thanks
