Hi - I'm having a hard time getting audio to work on IE9. I've
provided both mp3 and ogg files, and have re-encoded my mp3 file with
Miro. The audio works with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and I believe IE8
also.

My site is here (click on the gift to see):

Thanks for any leads. And for an awesome plugin and instructions, too!
This plus Miro Video Converter really makes life easier. :)

Hi,

If you're dynamically inserting audio tags using javascript, then you should call html5media() after it's been embedded to kick in the fallback in legacy browsers.

Your current page does work in IE9, but won't work in IE7-8 at present.

Best,

Dave.

Thanks Dave, I've added that - will test in IE soon. The audio isn't
working in iOS either - any reason jump out at you?

Not really. IOS can certainly play audio files fine. Potentially the phone just doesn't allow autoplay, as a bandwidth saving measure?
