The short story is that when I put audio shortcode in a post nothing renders.
I gather that these are implemented in themes and I got a plugin called shortcode reference and it tells me that audio is definitely included in my current theme (which is My Music Band, and formerly it was Muso) It fails on both.
I have no clue how to troubleshoot this
Am I meant to “enable” this globally somewhere? Thank you for your answers

I’ve found that some audio files just don’t play — due to encoding or other things — and may have to be tweaked with ffmpeg or something similar.

The mp3 file is hosted on my google drive and it plays fine
