jquery - HTML5 Audio Auto Play IE Doesn't Play - Stack Overflow

I have a bit of code to play audio tag HTML5 when clicked. Works properly in all browsers. I recently tried to convert it to automatically play when the page opens (no click required). Works fine in Chrome and FF, but won't play in IE... although I don't see an obvious error.

// add a 'self play' function on a wrapper div jQuery('.autoplay').each( function(i) {             if( jQuery(this).attr("rel") ) {                    var xv = jQuery(this);                 x = jQuery(this).attr('rel') + ext;                                                              audioElements.push( document.createElement('audio') );                  //alert(audioElements.length);                 //alert(xv);                 // alert(x);                 y = audioElements.length-1;                 audioElements[y].setAttribute('src', x);                 audioElements[y].load();                 audioElements[y].addEventListener("canplay", function(){ xv.addClass('canplay');    });                              // audioElements[y].currentTime=0;                                        audioElements[y].play();                 // alert(x);                 return true;             }         }); 

The live site is http://jchmusic.com. But again, if you go to http://jchmusic.com/songs-from-detroit and click on any icon, the same basic code works fine.

Any ideas?
