If this is the code for video, what’s the code for audio?

<video src="http://hi5.1980s.fm/;" width="50" height="50" style="cursor: pointer;background-color:orange;" onclick="this.paused?this.play():this.pause();"/>

<audio src="myfile.mp3"> </audio>

How come it’s not working?

<audio src="http://hi5.1980s.fm/;" width="50" height="50" style="cursor: pointer;background-color:orange;" onclick="this.paused?this.play():this.pause();"></audio>

All it is is html5 audio instead of video, the same code functions should work, but they don’t. How come?

You have to link to an actual audio file, and one that’s supported. E.g.

<audio src="http://tekstopia.uio.no/flannor/wp-content/uploads/What-is-happening-here_-2.mp3"></audio>

That’s not working either.

It works if you add controls so you can actually play it. 

<audio src="http://tekstopia.uio.no/flannor/wp-content/uploads/What-is-happening-here_-2.mp3" controls></audio>

There is a good, clear guide here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Using_HTML5_audio_and_video
