  Hi there,

  Below is one way I found make Audio Play automatically when someone visits your page,

  To automatically start playing your track when the page is visited, add autoplay=1 like so:
  [audio src=http://en-support.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/istock_audio.wav autoplay=1]

  Detailed description is given in below link,

  Hope this will help you :)

  All the best!
