    Hi Luis,

    Most modern browsers prevent the autoplaying of audio files on websites. In Google Chrome for example, the Autoplay Policy launched in Chrome 66 for audio and video elements and is responsible for preventing audio files from automatically playing on websites that you haven't interacted with. You can read about the policy here. 

    You'll need to interact with your course at least once first before the browser allows your audio file to play. Here's a redesigned version of your course with an interaction added at the start so you can see how having the interaction will affect the playing of your audio files. To fix the issue, try placing a start button at the beginning of the course.
