Tell us what’s happening:

Test 9 is failing
9. When you press one of the keys Q, W, E, A, S, D, Z, X, C on your keyboard, the corresponding audio element should play the corresponding sound.
I’m not sure why, as, as far as I can tell, the appropriate sound plays when I press those buttons?

Try calling your listener on document rather than window.

That worked, thank you. I was completely stuck as to why it was failing when everything worked as it seemed it should!
