You can use the audio element to insert an audio file into a document.
Unfortunately, no audio format is natively supported by all of the major browsers. However, you can use the source element to specify alternate audio files. The browser can then select a format based on its media type or codec support.
When you use the source element, the audio element's src attribute should be omitted. Otherwise, the source element will be ignored.
