No Sound playing Arcade/HTML5 games through mobile browsers - thoughts?

Hello Everyone!
My son and I have been enjoying GameSalad for the last couple of months and finally published a game into the arcade. We're interested in creating mobile web games, more so than proper apps at this stage, but are also interested in the PRO account in the near future potentially.
Our issue is that we aren't getting any sound when attempting to play games (ours and other posted in the Arcade) in a mobile/tablet browser. We've tried Apple, Android and Kindle (which is Android I suppose) devices, with and without headphones (one thing we'd read on another forum stream), and a variety of browsers on each device, to no avail. Everything works fine on our PCs and Macs, there's just that mobile bump.
Is there a solution to this, or one in the works? I've ready forum strains dating back to 2013 noting this issue that seem to have gone unresolved. Is it something having to do with being a PRO member? Thanks for your time and help!

Make all of your sounds .wav then import them into Gamesalad. Now Gamesalad will convert them to .ogg.
Now save your game and close GS and then find your project file and right click and show all contents. find your sound folder and open it up and drag the .wav files in, and then remove the .ogg files.
Now close all and update your game on arcade and should all work.
Thanks BBEnk, I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes!
Alright BBEnk, we went ahead and gave it a shot, step-by-step, and we still aren't getting any sound on Apple mobiles/tablets. We even went ahead and created new sound effects so we'd know the difference. Works great on Android devices, one step closer I suppose, thanks!
If anyone has ideas about getting the sound working on HTML5 web-based game in a web browser for an Apple device, I'd love to hear them!
