The target is in fact the iPad with support

Answer 1

The Apple iPad does not allow playing sounds without a user click previously initiating it.

Solution: Add a play/pause button.

App.toggle_audio = function(elem) {
  var icon = elem.find("i");
  var playing = _.include(icon.attr('class').split(" "), "icon-pause")
  if (playing) {
    elem.html(" " + App.translate_play_audio);
    App.play_audio_toggle = false;
  } else {
    App.audio_file.load();
    elem.html(" " + App.translate_pause_audio);
    App.play_audio_toggle = true;
  }
}

Once the user clicked the button once the Audio is loaded. You can then play it via Javascript.

  if (App.play_audio_toggle) {
    App.audio_file.play();
  }
