I've included an audio source within my audio tag in my HTML file using the correct path, but I still can't hear any audio. I'd really appreciate any help! I checked with an AI tool, and it keeps suggesting that the path is incorrect, but I've double-checked and confirmed that it's actually correct!

Have you checked the browser console for any errors? It can really help identify what's going wrong. Don't forget to verify the audio file format too; some browsers can be quite finicky about which formats they support, like mp3 versus Ogg.
Could you post your HTML code? It might help in diagnosing the issue. Alternatively, you could share a link to your GitHub so we can take a look.
One thing to keep in mind is that most browsers require some form of user interaction before audio can play automatically without being muted. It might be worth adding a click to unmute feature or just giving it a shot to ensure there’s a click event to trigger the audio.
Thanks for the tip! I tried that and it worked like a charm! Now I'm ready to pop the question.
Yeah, I've noticed that too. That's why they often include 'click to unmute' buttons!
Are you using an absolute path for the audio file? Try using the full URL format, like 'http://' or 'https://', and see if that resolves the issue. Also, check the developer tools in your browser for network-related errors; they'll show if the audio file is properly loading or not.
Sure! Here's a snippet of my code:
