Yes, I also have this problem again after updating to jetpack 2.2.2
http://x0.wp.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf
is still working which was the problem earlier
Thank you for confirming this issue.
Fyi, I updated to 2.2.2 and it works fine on my blog. See this post, for example, with audio embed using the shortcode –
http://www.nevillehobson.com/2013/04/03/fir-interview-steve-rubel-chief-content-strategist-edelman/
It didn’t work with 2.2.1 but does now.
Updating to 2.2.2 should indeed solve the problem. We’ve removed the Flash player from the Audio shortcode, and it should now use an HTML5 player.
If you still experience issues after updating, could you post a link to your site and to one of the problematic posts so I can have a look?

The audio player work with Chrome and IE but not with Opera and Firefox.
Could you copy the shortcode you used in that post, and paste it here so I can try to reproduce the problem?
It’s also worth noting that the Audio shortcode will be deprecated once WordPress 3.6 is out, since it will include an Audio shortcode (#23282).
The previously noted problem was caused by player.swf returning a 404. Removal of the flash will cause problems with browsers that do not support html5 audio.
Possible solution is to return the code to 2.2.1.
@Han-earl Park The player was removed for security reasons. Rolling back to 2.2.1 won’t help, but you could indeed add the player to the plugin as explained here.
@renatorm Thank you! We’ll have a look at the problem and I’ll post again here as soon as we can solve the issue.
Thank you Jeremy for your help in this issue.
@jeremy Herve: thanks for the info. Can you let me know what the security concerns were (in case I decide to host the flash player on my server)?
I’m still having no luck with the audio shortcode. Here’s the shortcode I’m using:
[audio http://authnerd.shep.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/06-Golden-Heart.mp3%5D
(for some reason this forum software is removing the final square bracket after “.mp3” above; it’s there, and there in the edit window, but not showing up on-screen. But it’s there.)
and here’s the post:
http://authnerd.shep.ca/?p=12
I do get a player for about 0.2 seconds, then it flips into a “Download File” link.
In Chrome, the “Download File” link points back to the post address (http://authnerd.shep.ca/?p=12) and not to the file.
In Firefox, the link points to the file.
Both in Mac OSX.
@Han-earl Park The flash player was vulnerable to XSS.
@mattshepherd You seem to be using another plugin (MediaElement.js) to add the Audio player. Could you see with the plugin author about the issue?
Hi Jeremy,
The other plugin has been first deactivated, then deleted from the Plugins folder. I’m not sure how it could now be interfering, unless it has buggered up the WordPress code to a point far beyond my ability to fix it.
EDIT:
Given the imminent audio shortcode in WP 3.6, I’m just going to nuke this thing for now and start over with 3.6 when it arrives.
