new Audio() not Implemented in Internet explorer

Question

I am trying to play an array of mp3 sound. I have an audio file in my html and get it using document.CreateElement() in my JavaScript.

When I try to set the src attribute (setAttribute("src", string)) I get an error in IE saying "Not Implemented".

I tried using the new Audio(), I get the same error in IE, "Not Implemented". Both approaches works in Google chrome and Firefox.

Can anyone help?

<audio id="audio1" >Not supported</audio>

audioElm = document.getElementById("audio1");
audioElm.setAttribute("src", aud[count]); 
audioElm.play();

HTML JS audioElm = document.getElementById("audio1"); audioElm.setAttribute("src", aud[count]); audioElm.play(); This works with Chrome and FF but not for IE. when I debug It says NOT IMPLEMENTED — Ben, May 05 '15 at 20:19
What is the format of the audio file? IE only supports .mp3. — jaket, May 05 '15 at 22:21
IE supports mp3 *and* aac audio files, so it is probably not a file type issue. — MEC, May 06 '15 at 07:45

HTML5 Audio not playing in IE (recent versions)?

It could be a compatibility view issue (quirks mode)

It could be caused by running IE on a server

It could be caused by running IE on a Windows 8.1 Enterprise version such as "8.1 N".

The fix for this would be installing the Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 8.1

Also you can go to html5test.com and look in the audio section at the "MP3 support".

+1 for the IE server version not supporting audio/video. That was the answer that I was looking for, thank you. — illinoistim, Sep 12 '16 at 21:18

I was working in a windows server and I had the same problem playing MP3 audios in internet explorer.

The only solution I found was installing the "Desktop Experience Feature" in my server.

Start -> Search for "Server manager" -> Features -> Add features -> Select "Desktop experience" -> Next and Install

Once installation is completed, you need to restart the computer and then the feature gets enabled.
