So, the audio tag works and plays audio fine, but the seek/navigation doesn't work. It doesn't travel with the audio and you can't seek/navigate through the player. This is what it looks like for a 1-minute and 23-second audio clip:

Also, when the player is done, the time/duration is *off*. I don't know how else to explain it. This is what it looks like after:

This is the code for the player:

```
<audio controls preload="auto">
    <source src="https://third.party.com/file.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>

```

I've never really worked with the `<audio>` tag before, so maybe there are nuances I'm missing, but it seemed pretty straight-forward. Am I missing something?

**Edit** - More Details

I've added a [JSFiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/py3je9qx/). Also, this appears to happen with longer audio clips, so this may be bandwidth related. When a clip is a few seconds (< 10s) it seems to work fine most of the time.
