Audio files won't work in Safari

Perhaps I should post this in general Wordpress forums, but I'll start here.
The audio files on this page work fine in Firefox and Chrome, but they don't work in Safari, desktop or iOS. I'm using the Wordpress audio block. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi Jonathan,
I don't think GP has the ability to cause an issue like this.
Can you try activating a twenty series WP theme to see if the issue exist there as well?
Let me know :)
You're right. It won't work in 2020 either! I'll look further.
Sounds good :)
Just for the record, I found the problem. I did a test page and after about 10 audio files Safari would bog down with errors. I changed all the preload settings to "none" instead of "browser default," and the page works fine. I presume someone with faster internet than I have wouldn't have problems with the default setting.

Thanks for reporting back!
