Javascript/html5 play multiple audio files or overlap audio

Question

Let me start by saying I am trying to play a mp3 file whenever the player collides with a wall, simple enough and done. But I wish to have another sound file play when the player hits another wall. I have tried using both <audio> tag in the html file, than playing it in Javascript:

var sound = document.getElementById("TheHtml5Tag");

Still the same issue, only one sound can be played, the next sound won't play untill the first one is finished. Even when using multiple <audio> tags and multiple sounds. Next I have tried using codes similar too:

sound = new Audio('Wall_Hit_01.mp3'); 
sound.addEventListener('ended', function() {
    this.currentTime = 0;
}, false);

Than playing it with: sound.play(); But still the same issue: I can't play sound2.play(); or sound3.play(); before the first sound has finished. Any answers/ suggestions are much appreciated. If there isn't a way to do this on every browser maybe some tips on how too stop all the sounds in order to play a new sound would be nice. Though I would much rather go with the original question.

Solution

Howler.js provides a good library for firing off cross-browser sound sprites for games, should do the trick!
