I'm getting an audio error when previewing a shared link in a browser on iOS only.
<audio controls autoplay>
<source src="https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxx.mp3?rlkey=xxxxxxxx&st=xxxxxxxxx&dl=1" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>
Audio runs well on computer browsers on Android phones
The iPhone always reports errors

Hi phonghjx, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Which browser are you using on your mobile device?
Have you tried changing the dl=1 to raw=1 in order for files to preview directly?
This will help me to assist further!
