Why are my audio files not showing up in Firefox and IE?

i building website consist of audio files voice demos no longer 2 minutes in length. audio player shows , work great in safari. here coding looks like...

i've done reading , learned not web browsers use same file type why coded wav, ogg, , mp3. still no luck audio player showing in firefox or internet explorer. when page first loads in firefox audio players show for second , disappear! coding incorrectly? read things firewalls , have mine down should not blocking anything.

here link site demos. can try opening in safari versus other web browsers , see problem. http://www.bristowvo.com/demos2.html

any insight appreciated! thanks!

firstly, you're using <audio> html5 tag, doctype shows xhtml1. change this:

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd xhtml 1.0 transitional//en" "http://www.w3.org/tr/xhtml1/dtd/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

to this:

<!doctype html>

browsers go quirks mode when see major doctype conflict such one.

secondly, html5 audio not supported/ native in browsers - older ones. can consider using 3rd party html5 player such http://mediaelementjs.com/ because have fallback mechanism ensure file works on older browsers.

another observation: there no space between 2 attributes in code.

<source src="music/commercial demo.wav"type="audio/wav"/>

should ideally this:

<source src="music/commercial demo.wav" type="audio/wav"/>

note space between src , type.
