No Audio in Hype?

It's a little bit hacky, but what you could also do to bypass the non-autoplay feature in the browser, is to create a silent MP3 file or use this one - silencemp3.zip (28.0 KB). Then on the first user interaction play that audio. Once you've initialised audio via interaction once, then you should be able to auto-play audio from there.

Yup -- this is a good technique. Even several seconds between the 'touch' or 'tap' that warms up the audio and the automated playback will result in more reliable playback in Safari 14.1.1 desktop and iOS:
