Howler.Js Pro - Volume control does'nt work with HTML 5 Audio on iOS

Hi Zerocode,

The only way I can play audio in the background on native devices is by using the HTML5 Audio.
However when using the HTML 5 audio volume control does’nt seem to work (on iOS).

Are there any updates coming resolving this issue?

Hello @peter5,
Thank you for your patience.

This is a known limitation for howler.js because IOS assumes that the user is using the device’s volume control. Volume and Mute Control iOS?? · Issue #415 · goldfire/howler.js · GitHub
