I also have this issue with Chrome. Strangely sometimes the sounds will play and sometimes they wont. Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first. https://goo.gl/xX8pDD

Same issue as above ^

It is because of the chrome's browser setting.

Indeed. It's because of this: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

You need to listen for a user interaction before you set the playStatus to Sound.status.PLAYING

Please help to resolve this issue, I have the same warning

soundmanager2.js:1989 Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first. https://goo.gl/xX8pDD

any update here guys?

This turned out to be exactly what the error says - the user needs to interact with the page before you can autoplay sounds. I now have a small banner at the top of the page asking for autoplay permission, with a button for the user to click. Works great.
