is it compulsory to write Html audio type?-CodePudding

Is it necessary to write audio type in html like .

I have tested it without writing audio type and it is working fine then why should we have to write it?

CodePudding user response：

<audio controls>
  <source src="horse.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
  <source src="horse.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

ig unless an until it has it's default type... you could ignore the type attribute.

The HTML element is used to embed sound content in documents. It may contain one or more audio sources, represented using the src attribute or the element: the browser will choose the most suitable one. It can also be the destination for streamed media, using a MediaStream.

<figure>
    <figcaption>Listen to the T-Rex:</figcaption>
    <audio
        controls
        src="/media/cc0-audio/t-rex-roar.mp3">
            Your browser does not support the
            <code>audio</code> element.
    </audio>
