Dear LimeSurvey community,

I am supposed to conduct an online survey for a university research project.

I want to present an audio stimuli but not as a single question but in the description of a question group so I can use different scales as subordinated questions (both 5-point Likert scale and yes/no scale).

I was successful at integrating it but unfortunately the play button (nonetheless it was displayed in the wanted field) remained inactive.

What can I do to make that work?

Thanks a lot for your support!

If you need further information, don't hesitate to contact me.

Best,
Andreas

Difficult to say. Because it should work the same in a question or in the survey description. What you can try is to use a "text display" type question and put it at the beginning of the group and see if it works there.
Without any further information, or a link it is basically impossible to help solving this problem.

This is the code I'm using for embedding the sound file:

<audio controls style="width: 185px;"> <source src=" qsurvey.org/audioandvideo/babysounds2.mp3 " type="audio/mp3">

The screenshot shows the inactive play button within the description of a text display question. The strange thing is: For a moment, the button is active but turns inactive immediately.

Hi, Andreas

At first, there're few errors in your code (extra spaces in src url and <source> tag )
2-nd : somehow your file "babysounds2.mp3" is not playable as mp3, try this link f.e. and check that it's ok
check your files and update appropriate links
