Allowing access to Static Files in ASP.Net Core
Inside the Program.cs class, you will need to allow Static files by calling the function UseStaticFiles. Unless this function is called, the Static files will not be accessible.
Note: For more details on how to use Static files, please refer my article Static Files (Images, CSS and JS files) in ASP.Net Core.
 
 
Controller
The Controller consists of the following Action method.
Action method for handling GET operation
Inside this Action method, simply the View is returned.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
}
 
 
View
The View consists of an HTML5 Audio Player element.
The HTML5 Audio Player element has the following properties:
controls – It displays the control buttons such as Play Pause, Volume, etc. in the HTML5 Audio Player.
type – It specifies the media type i.e. MIME type of the media.
src – It defines the URL or path of the audio file.
