Play music and sound in the same time using audio tag

[hilty]

So... I think the title explains itself.

 

There's a way to do it work well in mobile?

I know that the sound have to play in a touch event,

but two sounds in same time don't work.

 

Detail: Just tag Audio, without WebAudio API.

It depends on the browser / OS. For lots of them you are restricted to 1 channel of active audio and that is it. Some browsers will allow you to run a couple of audio tags at once, sometimes even more, but you should really try and limit this as it can drink mobile CPU as if it was water. Your time is probably better spent using some kind of progressive enhancement method - i.e. focus on great sounds for Web Audio browsers (which covers virtually all iOS devices + Chrome on Android, so a huge number), and then just provide a decent single channel fall back for legacy devices.

Thanks Thomas,

 

I will take a look on it.

 

One question: In this book, Pascal shows how he built this logic?
