I am making a game with HTML5 and JavaScript.
How could I play game audio via JavaScript?

Solution
If you don't want to mess with HTML elements:
This uses the
var sound = new Howl({
src: ['https://interactive-examples.mdn.mozilla.net/media/cc0-audio/t-rex-roar.mp3'],
volume: 0.5,
onend: function () {
alert('Finished!');
}
});
sound.play()
`
var audio = new Audio('audio_file.mp3');
audio.play();
function play() {
var audio = new Audio('https://interactive-examples.mdn.mozilla.net/media/cc0-audio/t-rex-roar.mp3');
audio.play();
}
Play Audio
This uses the
HTMLAudioElement interface, which plays audio the same way as the ` element.
If you need more functionality, I used the howler.js library and found it simple and useful.
var sound = new Howl({
src: ['https://interactive-examples.mdn.mozilla.net/media/cc0-audio/t-rex-roar.mp3'],
volume: 0.5,
onend: function () {
alert('Finished!');
}
});
sound.play()
`
