       <p>Individuals who use screen reading software can find it hard to hear the speech output
          if there is other audio playing at the same time. This difficulty is exacerbated when
          the screen reader's speech output is software based (as most are today) and is controlled
          via the same volume control as the sound. Therefore, it is important that the user

       </p>
       <p>Having control of the volume includes
          being able to reduce its volume to zero. Muting the system volume is not "pausing or stopping" the autoplay audio. Both the "pause or stop" and control of audio volume need to be independent of the overall system volume.

          <p>Playing audio automatically when landing on a page may affect a screen reader user's
             ability to find the mechanism to stop it because they navigate by listening and automatically
             started sounds might interfere with that navigation. Therefore, we discourage the
             practice of automatically starting sounds (especially if they last more than 3 seconds),

       <h2>Benefits of Audio Control</h2>
-
-
       <ul>
-
          <li>Individuals who use screen reading technologies can hear the screen reader without
             other sounds playing. This is especially important for those who are hard of hearing
             and for those whose screen readers use the system volume (so they cannot turn sound
             down and screen reader up).
          </li>
-
          <li>This Success Criterion also benefits people who have difficulty focusing on visual
             content (including text) when audio is playing.

       <h2>Examples of Audio Control</h2>

          <li>An audio file begins playing automatically when a page is opened. However, the audio
             can be stopped by the user by selecting a "silent" link at the top of the page.
