# Elementary Audio, Day 1

Day 1 with [Elementary Audio JS Library.](https://www.elementary.audio)

I set out to get something cool happening in an hour or two. ended up burning the better part of the day. I started with an empty SvelteKit project because that’s what I had been using, and then messed around for a little while … aI mean several hours, troubleshooting why I had no sound.

Although the tutorials and examples could be more fully featured, the real TL;DR is:

Right. Most browser won’t allow sound to start automatically without user interaction.

OK!

Will try again later this week.
