# play audio

This block is part of the [`state ui`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%20ui) group and was last modified in core [`v10.4.28`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/100428).

Plays the given audio file in the users browser

- flow `flow`

- volume percentage `number` The volume you would like to play this sound at (0% - 100%)

Default `100`

- flow `flow`

A typical wiring for [play audio](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%2520ui/state_play_sound_media): a [function trigger](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/globals/trigger_custom_function) starts the flow; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `url` pin; the `flow` out pin feeds [debug](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%2520ui/state_debug).
