## Key Features

* **Upload Audio**: Add an audio file directly from your device.
* **Paste URL**: Use a URL to reference an audio file hosted online.

## Troubleshooting

### The First Audio element Does Not Autoplay

* This behavior is expected due to browser policies.
* Most web browsers require the user to interact with the page (e.g., click or scroll) before audio can play automatically.

### Audio Not Playing

* The issue is likely caused by a malformed audio file.
* To resolve this:
  * Ensure the audio file is correctly encoded.
  * Test by downloading the file and playing it locally on your computer.
  * Re-encode the file if necessary using an audio editing tool or converter.

## Supported Formats

* Common formats such as `.mp3`, `.wav`, and `.ogg` are widely supported.
* Ensure compatibility with your users' devices and browsers.

## Example Usage

### Uploading an Audio File

* Click the **Upload** button in the element configuration.
* Select the desired audio file from your device.

### Pasting an Audio URL

Locate your audio file URL and paste it into the element.
