Topic: audio on IOS & Android

I'm using Showkase Pro with Juicebox galleries. Some of the galleries have audio and play fine as soon as the pages are  loaded on a desktop PC. But on iOS devices and Android devices the audio is off by default and must be manually turned on. Is there a way to get it to load with the audio turned on with these devices by default? I don't think this is an Android or iOS function because other websites I have gone to load with audio.

Re: audio on IOS & Android

Unfortunately, playAudioOnLoad is not supported on iOS or Android devices. (This is noted in the short description of the configuration option here.) Users must tap the Audio Button to start the audio playing.

Juicebox uses the browser's own native ability to play audio using the HTML Audio Element.
I cannot be sure but maybe the web sites that you have visited that have audio playing automatically use a third-party audio player.
