Please provide example URLs.

NVDA already supports HTML5 audio/video in Firefox if the page specifies that browser controls should be used. If the page implements its own playback controls, it is up to the page to ensure they are accessible.

This may not be possible in IE without changes to IE itself.
Changes:
Changed title from "support for HTML 5" to "support for HTML 5 audio/video elements"

The HTML5 audio controls do work in Firefox (not in internet explorer 9). When the audio plays, NVDA plays also the beepings that are associated with progress bars. This is very annoying to listen to the audio while the progress bar is beeping. Example page: http://examples.anysurfer.be/html5/audio/fr/ (under the heading "example")

@jcsteh @feerrenrut Could the attachment in #2063 (comment) please be restored? Does it demonstrate the inaccessibility reported by the original author on more recent versions of web browsers? If not, I suggest closing as worksforme.

I have attached the file to #2063 (comment), @bhavyashah would you be able to test this / investigate further?

@feerrenrut Alright. Findings are as follows:

• Firefox version 54.0.1 displays two sliders, Play(/Pause) and Mute buttons, so all works as expected.
• Chrome (latest stable version) also works as with Firefox, with the addition of a Download Media option (unrelated to NVDA and accessibility).
• Internet Explorer 11, NVDA reads, because I believe the browser itself shows - ' This browser is not support audio element.'
  I seriously doubt that IE supports these HTML 5 controls inherently and NVDA is unable to read them, because from the message pasted above, it seems to me that the browser, i.e. IE, itself fails to render these HTML 5 elements. Having said that, this seems to be an IE specific issue, and due to its demise, investigating this any further may not be justified. Time to close? @ehollig

Closing, as the HTML5 video element works in Firefox and Chrome, and acording to #2063 (comment),
"This may not be possible in IE without changes to IE itself."
Closing as Internet Explorer, NeedsExternalFix, cantfix
