I have a WKWebView with content that has an <audio> element pointing to a standard audio stream running on a Shoutcast server that will not play. There are no errors or information in the JavaScript console and no errors in the debugger in Xcode.

I added this to the App Transport Security Settings plist and it solved the problem for me:

<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsForMedia</key>
    <true/>

The problem turned out to be App Transport Security. This new security feature in iOS 9 was silently preventing the <audio> element from connecting to the insecure audio stream. Allowing arbitrary loads by adding this to my info.plist solved the problem:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
    <true/>
</dict>

If problem persist for some <audio>, replace "touchstart click" event by "touchend click" in js
