Audio can be used within composite H5P content types or as a standalone audio player. Whether audio is used within a composite content type or standalone H5P content, the options below are the same. Audio file types accepted: .mp3 and .wav
H5P Audio is only used after an audio file has been created. You can create audio using H5P Audio Recorder, Audacity (NOTE: Audacity is not supported by DL but available through UL Software center) or any other audio creation software available.
