Hi <@U05MXUE0B9T>, this is probably related to <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Autoplay_guide#autoplay_and_autoplay_blocking>

You could use the <https://docs.livekit.io/reference/components/react/component/startaudio/#startaudio|StartAudio> component or the <https://github.com/livekit/components-js/blob/2dab3b0855b09eb8c72c4c0c6fc63de5d5f6384d/packages/react/src/hooks/useStartAudio.ts|useStartAudio> hook.

<@U03RM7G8Q6A> Hi. Thanks for reply. I have this warning in logs

<https://github.com/livekit/components-js/blob/2dab3b0855b09eb8c72c4c0c6fc63de5d5f6384d/packages/react/src/hooks/useStartAudio.ts|useStartAudio> hook returns *canPlayAudio*: true

<@U05MXUE0B9T>, the warning in the console indicates that the audio is indeed being blocked by the browser.
You may need to run `play()` again on the audio element after the audio context is allowed.

Can you share what you are trying to build? Maybe we can find an easier way with pre-built components or hooks?

<@U03RM7G8Q6A> In my react app I use livekit room where I have timer component and when time runs out I should play alert audio. But I have problems to play it
