audio tag won't read files from the computer

Question

So, when I make something like that:

<audio src="sound.ogg" type="audio/ogg" controls>

It won't work (The player dissapears in FF), but when I replace the directory with a link from Dropbox, it works! The website is hosted from my Dropbox account with a custom domain. The path should work because other things, like images or fonts, are working.

Are you trying to play files from the local computer or server? This might be helpful http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_audio.asp — Ashley Medway, Mar 23 '14 at 19:16

It works fine for me. Are you sure that path to file is ok? I test this code on FF 28.

<audio src="sound.ogg" type="audio/ogg" controls>

If the path to file is not correct then no audio control is displayed.
