Hi I don't use howler but have also found this issue when using soundjs with an audio sprite. Looks like there is something going on with the webAudio garbage collection.

I am going to report this to webkit - would you be able to keep your link up as I will reference it in the ticket.

Here is the line to the webkit ticket: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273041

if anyone from Howler has any further info on this Thanks

Thanks for your reply. We also reported the issue to Apple on the forums. We hope you can provide feedback as well. https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/749588?page=1#784728022

Now we tried to separate the audiosprite into multiple single files and decrease the audio playtimes. This can expand the running time. Besides, it works fine with the CocosCreator audio system. We haven't found out what the difference between them is yet. here's CocosCreaor demo: https://rayji0428.github.io/demo/cocos/index.html

hope these are helpful for you.
