Hello there.

There are two main reasons you might have an id attribute for an audio element:

  1. For CSS styling: #myAudio { ... }
  2. In Javascript, you might want to do things with the element:
<body>
  <div onclick="onClick()">
    <audio id="myAudio" src="..."></audio>
  </div>
</body>
<script>
const audioElement = document.getElementById("myAudio");

function onClick() {
  audioElement.play();
}
</script>

I am not sure about the speed of audio for someone used to screen readers…perhaps.

Hope this helps some.
