HTML AUDIO AND VIDEO

I used the basic usage for video using the src inside the video tag. Then i used the audio with the source tag instead of embedding the src code inside the audio tag. Unfortunately it did not worked. The browser can only render the video. Can someone figure out what is the problem. Here is the code for both elements.

<div class="wrapper">
      <h2>Video example</h2>
      <video src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.mp4" type="video/mp4" controls />
      <h2>Audio example</h2>
      <audio controls>
        <source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge-audio.mp3"
        type="audio/mp3">
      </audio>

Your code is actually correct. It seems like the video may be covering up the audio. I suggest using two separate divs, so they will stack on top of each other, and you will see them both clearly, like so:

<div class="video">
      <h2>Video example</h2>
      <video src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.mp4" type="video/mp4" controls />
</div>

   <div class="audio">
<h2>Audio example</h2>
      <audio controls>
        <source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge-audio.mp3"
        type="audio/mp3">
      </audio>                           
   </div>

I used the self closing tags for both video and audio and it worked.
