html, css sound problem

when i tried to defind the sound to specific button to activite by clicking on it under this command:

audio id="startCar" src="sounds/startCar.wav" preload="auto"></audio> its dosent work!

but if ill change the command to that one: <audio id="peelOut" src="sounds/peelOut.wav" autoplay></audio> it will auto paly the sound

so that means that the workspaces recognize the audio file but when i want to activate by clicking its dont work, what im doing wrong?!

I see you tested your sound with autoplay, but you also changed the sound.

Did you try adding autoplay to the original sound to be sure it played?

Also, what are you clicking to activate the sound? You probably have another element that is visible and associated with a handler to start the sound. I'd check there for a potential problem.

If you're still having trouble, please make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
