Play mp3 files on Chromium

[stemmo 0]

Hi all,

tinkerboard 1 and Linaro Stretch OS:

root@tinkerboard:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 9.3 (stretch)
Release:        9.3
Codename:       stretch
 

root@tinkerboard:~# chromium --version
Chromium 63.0.3239.84 built on Debian 9.3, running on Debian 9.3

 

We developed a web page that plays a MP3 triggered by javascript command:  new Audio('mp3/'+sound).play();

It happens that when we automatically launch the browser after the boot by a script, the sounds are not played - no errors in js console and dmesg output.

When we launch the same script from a terminal (same user = linaro) the sounds are played!

We don't understand why!

I only see a slightly different process (the last one) related to chromium:

 

NO PLAY

hello @stemmo, 

we've tried and cannot reproduce the issue. what commands did you execute? and what's the os/ image version you're using?
