document.getElementById('yourAudioTag').play();

Answer 2

If you don't want to deal with HTML elements:

var audio = new Audio('audio_file.mp3');
audio.play();

function play() {
  var audio = new Audio('https://interactive-examples.mdn.mozilla.net/media/cc0-audio/t-rex-roar.mp3');
  audio.play();
}

<button onclick="play()">播放音频</button>
