Audio doesn't play. Django, DEBUG = False

Have a problem with audio playing again. Now in deploy with DEBUG = False. This is my settings:

    STATIC_ROOT = '/home/bootuz/final/myapp/static/'

    STATIC_URL = '/static/'

    MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/bootuz/final/audio/'

    MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

This code I added to urls.py

+ static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

Template: 

<audio id="player" preload="auto">
                <source src="{{ showword.audio.url }}" type="audio/mpeg">
                </audio>
                <button id="player_button" onclick="document.getElementById('player').play()"><img src="{% static 'images/audio.png' %}" alt="Play">
                </button>

And in the console I see this error:

enter image description here Could you tell me, guys, what is wrong?

As others have stated in the comments, serving static files using Django is not advisable. In fact, the documentation has this to say about the static() function:

This is not suitable for production use! For some common deployment strategies, see Deploying static files.

And further notes that:

This helper function works only in debug mode and only if the given prefix is local (e.g. /static/) and not a URL (e.g. http://static.example.com/).

Also this helper function only serves the actual STATIC_ROOT folder; it doesn’t perform static files discovery like django.contrib.staticfiles.

Please refer to the linked documentation for common scenarios of serving static files in production.
