OGG file won't play in mobile devices, but works fine for desktop

I am creating a wiki for people to learn how to pronounce some difficult names in my language. I have recorded audio in OGG files and uploaded to the wiki, and they play fine in desktop browsers like Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Here is an example: https://chinesenamesinenglish.com/wiki/A

However, in mobile devices (both Safari and Chrome in iphone X), if I use MobileFrontend (I tried different skins), the audio is not played after I click the play button but the player is displayed. If I use desktop view in mobile devices, the player is not even displayed. In contrast, Wikipedia's audio plays fine in mobile devices. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner

Can anyone help? Thank you! I am using MediaWiki v1.33.1 and the extensions and skins are latest compatible versions.

For now, I bypassed this issue by replacing OGG files with mp3 files. However, I still hope to know how to solve this problem. Your help will be greatly appreciated!

I’m noticing the same issue with the ogg media on the Audio Samples provided on Fandom’s Soundeffects Wiki. I would really like to use this resource on Apple mobile devices. Is there a workaround?
