# LiteralHTML example - Play audio

To play audio on a page, set up the HTML5 `audio` tag via the LiteralHTML control. For the available options for this element, see [w3schools Html5_Audio](https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_audio.asp).

The audio files used in this example are part of the standard Portal.

#### Example

The first LiteralHTML control uses the following expression:

```plaintext
"<audio controls='controls'><source src='Files/Media/sirene.wav' type='audio/mpeg' />Your browser does not support the audio element.</audio>"
```

The second LiteralHTML control with autoplay uses the following expression. This control is not visible in the user interface.

```plaintext
"<audio autoplay='autoplay'><source src='Files/Media/scanned.wav' type='audio/mpeg' />Your browser does not support the audio element.</audio>"
```
