JS to force auto-playing in modern browsers

[abrodski]

Hello!
Is there a way to use JS to bypass a recent limitation in modern browsers to autoplay music?
I activated an autoplay in a Joomla music player plugin and I also used JS code via Custom HTML module

<script type="text/javascript">
var source = 'https://example.ru/1.mp3';
var audio = new Audio();
audio.addEventListener('load', function() {
 audio.play();
}, true);
audio.src = source;
audio.autoplay = true;
</script>

I know I'll be off -topic, but, no matter if your motivation is legitimate, I would suggest NOT to attempt to bypass the auto-play blocker of browsers. First of all, this is certainly not possible, and secondly playing a sound automatically to all visitors is, in my opinion, an extremely bad idea. There is a reason this feature was developed...

Probably, but why on earth would you want to do something that will simply cause human users to leave your site instantly? Are you trying to sabotage a competitor’s site?

You can't post your website per TOS at WW ... but I'll never see it even by accident, and the majority of JS off, Script killer, and ad blocker users growing by leaps and bounds (not to mention mainstream browsers actively killing video/audio autorun) will not make your day ... or let your js script work in the first place.

There's a reason why tech and users---the web in general---are heading in this direction. AUTOPLAY is obnoxious!

In all events, when you use in the same sentence "to force" and "bypass"... :)
