Hello everyone!  
Problem with playing sounds on iphone devices.  
If i use this code [(get Phaser example](https://phaser.io/examples/v3/view/audio/web-audio/play-audio-file)), music is playing everywhere except iphone devices:

```javascript
var config = {
    type: Phaser.AUTO,
    parent: 'phaser-example',
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    pixelArt: true,
    scene: {
        preload: preload,
        create: create
    }
};

var game = new Phaser.Game(config);

function preload ()
{
    this.load.audio('theme', [
        'assets/audio/oedipus_wizball_highscore.ogg',
        'assets/audio/oedipus_wizball_highscore.mp3'
    ]);

    this.load.image('wizball', 'assets/sprites/wizball.png');
}

function create ()
{
    this.add.image(400, 300, 'wizball').setScale(4);

    var music = this.sound.add('theme');

    music.play();
}

```

I read similar topics, and i try use html5 audio ( in config write property - audio: { disableWebAudio: true}), but if i use this way - audio not worked on all mobile devices.

Is there a way to make all sounds play on all devices (PC and mobile, android and iOS)?

I found a answer, must use property:  
`this.sound.unlock();`

all work code:

```javascript
var config = {
	type: Phaser.AUTO,
	width: 800,
	height: 600,
	audio: {
		disableWebAudio: true
	},
	scene: {
		preload: preload,
		create: create
	}
};

var text;
var game = new Phaser.Game(config);

function preload() {
	text = this.add.text(10, 10, 'Loading audio ...', { font: '16px Courier', fill: '#00ff00' });

	this.load.audio('dafunk', [
		'assets/audio/Dafunk - Hardcore Power (We Believe In Goa - Remix).ogg',
		'assets/audio/Dafunk - Hardcore Power (We Believe In Goa - Remix).mp3',
		'assets/audio/Dafunk - Hardcore Power (We Believe In Goa - Remix).m4a'
	]);
}

function create() {
	this.sound.pauseOnBlur = false;

	this.input.on('pointerdown', function () {
		this.sound.unlock();
		var music = this.sound.add('dafunk');
		if (!this.sound.locked) {
			music.play();
		}
		else { // IF Not wait on unlock event 
			this.sound.once(Phaser.Sound.Events.UNLOCKED, () => {
				music.play();
			})
		}
	}, this)

	text.setText('Playing Dafunk - Hardcore Power (We Believe In Goa - Remix)');
}

```

One thing I noted as I worked with iOS devices is that sometimes the audio started playing a little cut off from the beginning, so I needed to add a little bit of empty sound in the audio file before the sound effect I wanted.

I never knew why this happened.
