JPlayer Circle Player does not show circle first time around with wav files made from vox

Question

I have an application that is using the JPlayer Circle Player to play short audios for transcription purposes. Each of these audios originates as a .vox file that has been conv

CAUSE

There are multiple reasons of why the player doesn't play .WAV files. Based on your description that the player can play .WAV file after second click, it seems that you may be loading your .WAV files too early before player has been initialized.

NOTES

According to the documentation:

The WAV format is supported by many HTML5 browsers. We recommend that you avoid it though as a counterpart format. The recommended encoding options are:

• 8-bit and 16-bit linear PCM
• Only codec "1" (PCM) is supported.

If possible I would recommend using .MP3 format instead as it has wider support by desktop/mobile browsers.

Also please note that you need to specify supplied: 'wav' in order to play .WAV files.

DEMO

See this jsFiddle for the demonstration of the jPlayer Circle Player playing the .WAV file you've uploaded.

I was able to play the .WAV file on Firefox, Chrome and Safari, but not IE. This shows that the problem is not with the file format.
