[html] Autoplay an audio with HTML5 embed tag while the player is invisible

I want to autoplay a MP3 audio file and I don't want the player to be visible.

<div id="music"><embed src="Comfortably_Numb.mp3" autostart=true loop=false></div>

When I added display:none to the audio tag using css, it doesn't play the music at all. Could someone explain me hot to play the music without displaying the player?

If you are using React, make sure autoplay is set to,

autoPlay

React wants it to be camelcase!

You Could use this code, It's Works with me

<div style="visibility:hidden">
    <audio autoplay loop>
        <source src="../audio/audio.mp3">
    </audio> 
</div>

I used this code,

 <div style="visibility:hidden">
    <audio autoplay loop>
        <source src="Aakaasam-Yemaaya Chesave.mp3">
    </audio> 
</div>

It is working well but i want stop and pause button. So, we can stop if we don't want to listen.

For future reference to people who find this page later you can use:

<audio controls autoplay loop hidden>
<source src="kooche.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
<p>If you can read this, your browser does not support the audio element.</p>
</audio>

You can use this simple code:

<embed src="audio.mp3" AutoPlay loop hidden>

"Sensitive" era

Modern browsers today seem to block (by default) these autoplay features. They are somewhat treated as pop-ops. Very intrusive. So yeah, users now have the complete control on when the sounds are played. ^[1,2,3]

HTML5 era

<audio controls autoplay loop hidden>
    <source src="audio.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>

Early days of HTML

<embed src="audio.mp3" style="visibility:hidden" />

Sometimes autoplay is needed. Someone once pointed out that the famous Les Paul Google Doodle (2011) required autoplay, even though the sound didn't play until you moused over the guitar strings. If it's done with class and great design it can be beautiful (especially movie websites with immersive design)

<div id="music">
<audio autoplay>
  <source src="kooche.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
  <p>If you can read this, your browser does not support the audio element.</p>
</audio>
</div>

And the css:

#music {
  display:none;
}

Like suggested above, you probably should have the controls available in some form. Maybe use a toggle link/checkbox that slides the controls in via jquery.
