Hi all I’ve made some audio experiements with p5.js and the sound library -  
[https://angeltapes.github.io/Dwalm/](https://angeltapes.github.io/Dwalm/)

I’d like to use these on my iOS device (iPhone 6s) but I can’t get any sounds to work, either in Safari or Chrome. Is this a known compatibility issue?

Thanks,  
Bobby
