Not sure if this is the right place to be asking but I'm trying to add audio controls to a website. It works on desktops but I can't get it to work on iphones and androids. Here's the html that I'm using:

<audio autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls">
<source src="filename.m4a" />
<source src="filename.ogg" />
</audio>

Hi Jeffery,
Can you share a link to the page with the problem?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I'm doing testing at this page http://www.calvaryserves.com/test.html

I had a live page up but was told by owners of iphones 5 and 6 that they were not seeing all of the controls. They were only seeing a play button in a large gray rectangle box. Thanks.

I tried attaching a screen shot but I'm unable to attach it. I keep getting this error message: You don't have permission to access /forums/responsive-site-designer/audio-controls-for-iphone-and-android/ on this server.

Well that's odd. I can confirm on my iphone and that the controls aren't working on another site I checked.
Give this a try.

I had good results with this:

I know I tried JPlayer – don't remember why I didn't use it (is it responsive?).

Thanks for posting that paintbrush. I couldn't remember the name of that one but I did remember helping you with it.

It was by far the easiest to get up and running, plus, it's responsive (and free). Not all of them are.
