CARL LANGE also showed how to get hidden, autoplaying audio in html5 on a iOS device. Works for me.
In HTML,
<div id="hideme"> <audio id="audioTag" controls> <source src="/path/to/audio.mp3"> </audio></div>with JS
<script type="text/javascript">window.onload = function() { var audioEl = document.getElementById("audioTag"); audioEl.load(); audioEl.play();};</script>In CSS,
#hideme {display: none;}
