We have a couple clients that use a website that plays sounds (activeaero.com). The audio is a WMA file. Prior to upgrading to Windows 10, the sound would play using the Windows Media plugin. Now, when the sound is activated, the WMA file is downloaded instead of played. I can't find anywhere how to get this to play in the browser or via the plugin like it used to. Suggestions?

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Digital audio is technology that can be used to record, store, generate, manipulate, and reproduce sound using audio signals encoded in digital form. Following significant advances in technology, digital rapidly replaced analog audio technology in most areas. Digital audio systems may include compression, storage, processing and transmission components. It is important to distinguish between the audio coding format, the codec performing the encoding and decoding of the raw audio data, and the container file. Common file formats include .wav, .aiff, .au, .m4a, .mp3, .wma, .ra and .raw.
