@sAs59 I think you should use howler.js directly, you’ll have more control. https://github.com/goldfire/howler.js/ (look for audio sprites)
No worries!
componentDidMountwould be a good place, as long as the sound file is preloaded or cached. If that’s not the case you may want to place ReactHowler somewhere else in your component tree or just use Howler directly somewhere in your app to allow for better Howl lifecycle control.Happy Howling! 😎
