Body: <p>I have created an ebook via the Moby Dick epub example here:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://github.com/IDPF/epub3-samples" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/IDPF/epub3-samples</a></p>
  
  <p>I can open the ebook using iBooks (1.14) on Mac (High Sierra 10.13.4), but I can't get it to play the audio. When I press the volume button with the text "Read Aloud", the volume always goes down to its lowest level and when I turn it back up I still don't hear anything. The ebook itself contains a mp4 file. Why is it not working? Are there any alternative readers for mac? I also couldn't get it to work on iphone, again via ibooks. Is this not supported yet? Is there an alternative app I can try for iphone?</p>
