Audio tag in blogspot, Audio tag half working in blogspot Options

[Retrotechy]

Hi all.

First post on a great forum. Unfortunately it’s a shout out for help please.

I have a blogger blog and have tried to put in an auto play audio tag into the main forum landing page.

As the landing page isn’t a post, I have put the audio tag html in the theme html in the body.

When you navigate to the page from the website address or a browser, the audio doesn’t play, but if you open a post then use the back button to go back to the landing page, the audio then plays fine.

Can anyone advise why this is happening?

Initially the audio had no visual but I added the controls attribute and it looks like the auto play attribute isn’t initially kicking in, but does kick in when you hit the back button back to Landing page.
