# Playing Audio

> Playing Rive audio events

To learn more on how to add audio to your Rive file, see [Audio Events](/editor/events/audio-events).

## Embedded Assets

Embedded assets require no additional work to play audio.

## Referenced Assets

Referenced assets require a little bit more work to play audio. Audio will still automatically play, but the audio file(s) must be loaded when a Rive runtime attempts to play audio.

For more information, see [Loading Assets](/runtimes/react-native/loading-assets).
