I'm having problems with the audio tag in IE10/Windows 7. I found this test page and wonderfully, IE cannot display ANY audio tag. The funny thing is when I save the file and test it locally, it works perfectly (image below)

enter image description here

I checked the mime types on all of the files, and it appears that they're all correct:

mime

Next up was to check my media definitions in preferences:

preferences

What the heck? Any ideas here?

It must be a problem with that particular page. I can reproduce the error here on a test machine I have. (Server 2012)

Edit - Just found this:

HTML5 audio element do not work in IE10, but works in Chrome. Why?

Edit 2: Seems to be permissions based. Right-clicking and selecting run as administrator allows the audio to load.

  • I don't think so, this is happening to me, after googling around I found that test page -- funny enough, it works locally (changed the image) – ansiart Apr 26 '13 at 21:29
  • I saved it locally and opened it and it still won't load correctly. Very strange. – Jordan Apr 26 '13 at 21:31
  • Im stumped. Can't get it to work over here at all. Must be a problem with that browser. – Jordan Apr 26 '13 at 21:43
  • I think so ... I found: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/forums/jw-player/setup-issues-and-embedding/32495/ie10-update-has-broken-jw-player/ – ansiart Apr 26 '13 at 21:43
  • Have you tried right clicking and running IE as administrator? Maybe permissions? – Jordan Apr 26 '13 at 21:44
  • Microsoft man.. what are they doing over there. At least you have a work around.. heh. – Jordan Apr 26 '13 at 21:51
  • this has to be the most screwed up thing ever -- after rebooting and re-opening ie in non-administrator mode, it runs fine afterwards. – ansiart Apr 26 '13 at 21:57
  • I don't understand things like that. Drives me crazy. – Jordan Apr 26 '13 at 21:58
  • must've been a windows update that wouldn't unpack without admin permissions I'm guessing. I wonder how many users this affects ...... – ansiart Apr 26 '13 at 21:59

Problem is your Internet Explorer Cache Folder, check Settings for Temporary Internet Files, i had same Problem it displayed no Folder and Folder size of 0 on my machine.

Move it to c:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
