Soundcloud HTML5 Player Not Showing Up in IE9

Question

I've put a Soundcloud HTML5 player on my website and am generally quite pleased with it.

However, while browser testing in IE9 on Windows 7, The player is not loading, and I am seeing the following error in the debugging console:

SCRIPT429: Automation server can't create object 
widget-b8220e90.js, line 2 character 1738

The poking around that I have been able to do suggests that this has something to do with the IE9 security settings and/or ActiveX, which makes me shudder. I have IE9 running on its default security settings.

Is there anything that can be done to get the HTML5 player to show in this situation, or will I need to fallback to the flash player?

EDIT: The problem also occurs in IE8, which isn't surprising but I add for completeness' sake

EDIT: I am seeing the problem using the Win7/IE9 Virtual Machine provided by Microsoft at their new Modern IE site, and using the default security settings in IE9

Answer 1

I used the same code you specified above to try to reproduce, but it works fine for me in IE9. In compatibility mode it just falls back to the old Flash widget. Can you have a look here and say if it still doesn’t work for you?
