I am facing this problem in a chrome browser. When I click on any audio, it throws an exception. My audio tag is in a loop, and when I click on the audio or refresh it using ajax, then the exception is thrown.

I don't know if this will help you, but I still leave my ment so maybe it will help somebody else. I had similar issue, and the solution proposed by @dighan on bountysource./issues/ solved it for me.

So here is the code that solved my problem:

var media = document.getElementById("YourVideo");
const playPromise = media.play();
if (playPromise !== null){
    playPromise.catch(() => { media.play(); })
}

Just add it in document.ready

It still throws an error into console, but at least the video is playing :) I think this should work for audio as well.

I got the same error when my media wasn't loaded. Check these:

1. Your media has the correct src.
2. Your media is loaded before you play it.

I've recently noticed this happening on one of my sites that had no problems before, and hasn't been changed at all. It appears to be a known bug in Chrome -- take a look at the issue tracker here: https://bugs.chromium/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=593273

It seems that there is no way to prevent the error until this is fixed by the Chrome team.
