Here's a code sample that I use pretty often and have had success with.
var track = document.createElement('audio');
track.setAttribute('src', 'audio.mp3');
track.setAttribute('preload', 'auto');
track.setAttribute('loop', 'true');
track.setAttribute('autoplay', 'true');
track.load();
However, I would expect what you have to work just fine. Just to check, are you running that code after the DOMContentLoaded event? Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
var audio = new Audio('audio.wav');
audio.play();
}, false);
</script>
</html>
Apologies if there are typos, I wrote that out in this reply window, but I think I got it right. Basically are you waiting until the DOM has completed loading before you attempt to create an Audio instance?
Please note that I will be unavailable between May 19th and June 4th. Sincere apologies for any delays during this time. I will do my best to follow-up as soon as I am able.
