LimeSurvey has limited support for the use of audio in surveys, but luckily there is a workaround, described below. This process is very similar to [[Help:LimeSurvey/Demo_video | adding video]]
For the best cross-browser support, convert your audio files to MP3.

==Uploading Files==
First upload the audio. Do this the same way that you would upload images. You will not see a preview. There is no need to change anything about the settings.
<div><ul>
<li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Video0.png|thumb|none|480px|Upload your file (screenshot says .mp4, but the same goes for .mp3]] </li>
<li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Video1.png|thumb|none|680px|Copy the URL path (Ctrl+C)]]</li>
</ul></div>
Cancel out of the Image Properties interface and paste the copied path in the question field for future reference.

==Creating Audio Element==

Click the ''Source'' button and add the following code:
<br/>
<syntaxhighlight lang="html5">
<audio autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls">
<source src="XXXXXXXX" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support audio playback.
</audio>
</syntaxhighlight>
Replace the XXXXXXXX with the path you pasted in earlier.<br/>
If you do not want the audio to play automatically after the page loads, remove the <code>autoplay="autoplay"</code> bit.<br/>
The line "Your browser does not support audio playback." is only displayed on browsers that do not support HTML5 audio playback. All modern browsers will support it.
