Uncaught TypeError and no Autoplay Audio on older andriods

Problem Description

Audio does not play properly on older androids and iOS. There are two problems:

1. Sound/Music does not play until I touch any part of the screen.

2. Got Javascript error awhile after the audio finished playing (wait around 10-20 seconds), the following pop ups:

[quote:2yqqo8p2]Javascript Error! Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'createBuffer' of null http://192.XXX.X.XXX:50000/Audio_plugin.js, line 2338 (col 24)

This may be a bug in Construct 2 or a thrid party plugin or behavior....etc

Affected Browsers

• Chrome: 42.02311.111 on Andrio:4.0.3
• Safari: 7534.48.3 on iOS 5.1.1

Works on newer devices but hope you can support older devices as well, as my game is highly audio dependent (kids games) and a lot of parents simply let their kids play games on their old mobile devices.

Construct 2 Version ID

221 (64 bits)

I think this is caused by a temporary workaround to a Chrome bug in r221. We're removing the workaround soon, but I must say, you should not expect any support at all for such old OS versions. iOS 5 is so old that it doesn't even register in the stats I look at, and even on slower-moving Android, only 2.5% of users are on 4.0, and Google has dropped support for it too.
