Hi! I am having some sound play problems when linking to sound files and was wondering if there was a way to link differently to stop it. I just basically do the a href code to the actual file. The linked file plays inside a browser window, and seems to have a second or two of silence as playing in the beginning. Thing is, if i hit the play bar on it and bring it back to the beginning, of course the beginning of the sound file does indeed play without silence. I was wondering if there’s a way to link to sound files that would eliminate the silence - either by somehow calling an external player or some other way someone might know? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!
