Could not recreate the issue. Works fine on my system which is ubuntu using a cdn. Make sure if your are using cdn you include

Hi! This is an issue with the cdnjs version of p5, which is a bug with them unfortunately. Unfortunately that's the current CDN that the web editor uses for p5.sound, but see this issue for progress on that: https://github.com/processing/p5.js-web-editor/issues/3728

A secondary issue is that the default project setup (when using editor.p5js.org) calls sound lib 1.11.11 (which, as reported, doesn't allow loading sound file). If possible, until this is fixed - to revert the dev env to use 1.11.10 for projects to work. Most students don't aware of this option themselves... simple example: https://editor.p5js.org/tau1arnony/sketches/yjAKxv40j

Fixing the CDN should resolve this, I've put up a PR here: https://github.com/processing/p5.js-web-editor/pull/3758
