I don't want a clearer way to stop the audio, I want it to not start unless I ask for it. I honestly can't see any reason to have auto-playing audio on a web page unless that's the entire purpose of the page (audio or video player) or you're purposefully annoying people.

You should probably not automatically play audio. Or, if you must have audio, don't automatically play the video.

I'd suggest never automatically playing music. I always imagine the user just watched a youtube video with really low volume.

I don't know if there's speech (my audio is off), but I understood exactly what it did without audio.
