Chrome Extension not playing sound when button is clicked?

I've created an extension for Google Chrome. There are no errors when uploaded, and the button appears just fine on the extension bar. The extension is supposed to play a sound when clicked, but it does not. Here is my manifest.json file:

{
  "manifest_version": 2,

  "name": "Extension",
  "description": "My Extension",
  "version": "1.0",

  "browser_action": {
    "default_icon": "icon.png",
    "default_title": "Extension",
    "js": ["audio.js"]
  },
  "permissions": [
    "activeTab",
    "https://ajax.googleapis.com/"
  ]
}

and here is my audio.js file:

var myAudio = new Audio();
myAudio.src = "audio.mp3";
myAudio.play();

I don't see my issue here. Any and all help is appreciated!

  1. The toolbar button can only have an html file for the popup, there's no "js" parameter

  2. Alternatively use a dynamically loaded event page with a click handler and omit the popup:

    manifest.json:

    "browser_action": {
    "default_icon": "icon.png",
    "default_title": "Extension"
},
"background": {
    "scripts": ["event.js"],
    "persistent": false
},

    event.js

    chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {
    var myAudio = new Audio();
    myAudio.src = "audio.mp3";
    myAudio.play();
});

See the official samples for more examples of browserAction API.
