Is SoundCloud HTML5 Widget broken in Internet Explorer? Will not play sounds. Visible But Play Button has no effect

Link to demonstrate the bug:

http://www.multitask123.com/fmgem/SCIEBug.htm

While testing my production site I noticed that the SoundCloud HTML5 widget no longer is playing sounds. It is visible but both autoplay and clicking the manual orange play button have no effect in Internet Explorer version 8, 9 & 10. I have tested this on multiple machines over the past several hours.

If you pull up my linked page in Chrome, FF or Safari it will play the sound. IE... Not so much as in not at all.

Thanks!!

UPDATE: The original link started working but now it does NOT. After much testing I have narrowed it down to the actual sounds the page attempts to play:

These sounds play in IE 9 & 10

These sounds do NOT play in IE 9 & 10

I reached out to [email protected] and will post back with the outcome.

Something that might help SoundCloud team, you can reproduce this problem on their sample Widget Page.

https://soundcloud.com/pages/widgets

Using IE10 When the page first load, The Bugle will play fine when you click the play button. Reload the page (F5 or Ctrl-F5) Try to play the same audio again.

If you close all instances of IE, and try again it will work the first time.

The good news is IE11 doesn't seem to have this problem.
