The HTML <audio> is used to add the audio clips or file on web pages. The HTML DOM defines methods, properties and events for the audio element. This allow us to load, play, pause, duration and volume.
Browsers which support <audio> elements are:
Google Chrome
Safari
Opera
Microsoft Edge/Internet Explorer
Firefox
Below are the Attributes :
controls: add controls like play, pause, volume
<source>: specify alternative audio file
<audio></audio>: The text between the tag will be displayed on the web page. But there are many browsers that do not support <audio> element.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2> Audio of little birds singing in trees</h2>
<audio controls>
<source src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/0f65e1_b8a728f8fade43948729d8f6b584faff.wav" type="audio/ogg">
</audio>
</body>
</html>

<audio controls autoplay>
<Source sec= "..........." type="............">
</audio>
