IE9 troubles?

I have contacted my hosting company and hopefully will get an answer soon…

My hosting company thinks this is an IE and HTML5 issue – what do you think? This was their response after looking into the issue:

“Looking into this, I think I know what the issue is – the music player uses HTML5 code that IE struggles with, so it switches the code it uses (to Flash). Read more here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/ie9-problem-display

You will need to work with your developer in finding a workaround solution and/or perhaps changing the player if you absolutely cannot accept playback issues. Something as simple as a small image next to player saying, “IE Users – Make Sure Flash Is Up To Date” and then link to “https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/” might be the best way of addressing he problem.”

And here was their response about it possibly being an SSL issue – do you have any further advice? When I have customers complain about sound not working I tell them to use a decent browser :-). Also, an interesting tidbit. I recently bought a very new HP laptop and using IE with that brand new computer there were no problems with the sound. I’m really perplexed by this.

My host’s response about SSL:

“I looked into that, and here’s the deal. That error seems to be generated when a non-https component/asset tries to be loaded. (Similar to the issue here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5323474/ie9-error-sec7111-https-security-is-compromised-when-using-the-facebook-rest)

So, the mere fact that simply refreshing the page allowed you to view the unsecure component on an https tells me that likely isn’t what’s behind that error. Plus in that link I sent the user mentioned odd behavior “on IE i don’t see the button” which likely means other odd behavior happens as well. IE is a very picky beast, and often doesn’t play nice with industry-standard coding.”
