WebGL Audio not working

I have a simple audio track (.ogg) format attached to an audio source in a scene and this works fine in the editor in play mode (Audio plays, starts, stops, etc.) and there is a listener in the scene. In a WebGL build, however, it fails.

At first, I thought this was due to format (swapped MP3 for OGG) and then because browsers require user initiation of audio (so there's now a button that calls a function which calls Play() on the AudioSource. As far as I can tell though the Audiosource doesn't properly initiate (it's null).

Looking at the docs Audio, Audio source, Play() etc. should in the subset that works for WebGL, so not sure what the problem is!

Does anyone have a minimal setup that works for them? Thanks!

Using Unity 2020.2.0f1

I have a WebGL game built on 2019.4.8f working just fine with AudioSource.

Thanks @MSavioti : appreciate the response. I may well be doing something wrong. Is it just a normal Audio.Source with an AudioClip? How do you start it playing. Just .Play() on the Audio.Source? Thanks!

Yes, pretty basic stuff. You could try to print into a UI text field if said AudioSource is playing at runtime in the WebGL build.
