Im also having the same issue. Audio has worked fine for years with my app but as of a recent iOS update, it is no longer playing as intended. FWIW, im using Ionic & capacitor which renders a webview that the audio is being played inside of.
I have the same issue. For now I am using html5: false
on iOS 17.4, but I hope this can get fixed properly in Howler.
Having the same issue here. For some weird reason I can't get html5: false to work under Chrome on desktop nor iOS, so I guess i'm doing something wrong here. Basically creating the Howl with src and format the same way it works with html5: true, then set volume and hit play(), but that doesn't play. How do you make it work under Desktop + iOS?
@Timtam I did this to only use html5: false
on iPhone with iOS 17.4:
html5: /iPhone OS 17_4/.test(window.navigator.userAgent) ? false : true,
Interesting, I'll have to try if that works on iOS but it certainly doesn't work on other browsers if html5 is false. As a side note, for some weird reason, the old playback behaviour on iOS 17.4.1 still works for me with really short files (about 200 kb each and just 3 seconds long). A huge file (at least 2 minutes long and more) doesn't work though, and as far as I can see the state remains at "unloaded" all the time, or something like that (don't know about the Howler internals yet).
the issue is similar to #1711 but the fix doesn't apply to me, waiting for official fix
You are right, I found it just an hour before your message came in. I successfully switched to the @catalogworks/howler.js branch with html5: true and it fixed it in my use-case. It'd be great to have an official release which addresses this issue at some point, but its better than nothing for sure.
Seems to be fixed in iOS 17.5 for me!
yup its fixed its working correctly for me now.
The Problem
Audio doesnt play if i set html5 to true and audio doesnt play on background and only plays on safari if i set html5 to false. it was working fine before by setting html 5 to true but suddenly updated to new ios version and now the audio doesnt play at all. how do i fix this and make it so like before it plays and also plays background its huge headache.
