+Possible solutions are:
 
-```html
-<audio id="myAudio" src="track.mp3" crossorigin="anonymous"></audio> <!-- do not add the 'controls' property! -->
+1. Ensure your users have to click somewhere else before using the native media controls, like a "power on" button;
 
-<button id="play"> Play </button>
-<button id="stop"> Stop </button>
-```
+1. Don't use the native controls at all, and create your own custom play and stop buttons;
 
-```js
-const myAudio = document.getElementById('audio');
-
-document.getElementById('play').addEventListener( 'click', () => myAudio.play() );
-document.getElementById('stop').addEventListener( 'click', () => myAudio.pause() );
-```
+1. Even better, instantiate your **audioMotion-analyzer** object within a function triggered by a user click. This will allow the *AudioContext* to
+be started right away and will also prevent the *"The AudioContext was not allowed to start"* warning message from appearing in the browser console.
