Hi Dave,

I am still hoping that you can point me to some epub that plays embedded Audio on your KOBO device, as you confirmed above.

I would really like to cross check it with a new Clara BW because I have tried many different audio formats and bit rates without success.

I also correctly applied the media-type (audio/mpeg or audio/mp4) to the item declaration in the manifest, and all scenarios and tests I conducted were behaving correctly in all apps I’ve tried on iOS including Apple books which usually is very picky in terms of missing manifest declarations. Even the KOBO app on iOS accepted all file formats and manifest declarations…

The embedded audio element appears on the KOBO device in the form of an error message which usually means that the embedded audio player element works but the file format cannot be handled by the reader app.

I tried all mp3 files that are flawlessly played back by the .mp3z hack and also formats that are recommended for SMIL MediaOverlays in the KOBO specs.

So I am really curious what the file format of the files you managed
to play back on your device was.


Maybe you could spare a little time and find those books you successfully played audio with.


Thanks!
