    Hi Guys,

    I am creating a small game for windows 8.1 with Javascript and HTML5. I am having a small problem, on click I would like to play a sound, here is the code which I have written.

    var sfx_click = new Audio("/Sfx/jump.ogg");
            sfx_click.volume = 1;
            sfx_click.play();

    The above piece of code is not playing the sound. I even tried Sound.js,

    createjs.Sound.play("/Sfx/21Guns.mp3", createjs.Sound.INTERUPT_ANY);

    Which did not work. I would like to know what I might be missing here.

    Should I enable anything in appmanifest??

    Any suggestion is really appreciated.

    Regards,

    Rakesh

    Hi Rakesh,

    You don't need enable any thing in appmanifest if your audio file exists in the project.

    To play the sound in WinJS, you may need a <audio> tag with the source, your first code seems correct as the HTML below:

    <audio>
    <source src="uri" type="audioType" />
</audio>

    I don't know if some third-party code can work together with Windows Store App, you may need ask owner of Sound.js to see how they can work together with WinJS.

    IMPORTANT: I don't think you can play the ogg format with Windows Store App, see Supported audio and video formats
