Using audio URL

const App = () => {
    const { isPlaying, play, pause, toggle } = useAudio({
        src: "https://p.scdn.co/mp3-preview/d09498fe7e41e26b90682c3b5a0819bbcc3378e2",
        loop: true,
    });

    return (
        <div>
            <button onClick={toggle}>{isPlaying ? "Pause" : "Play"}</button>
        </div>
    );
};

export default App;

Using asset audio

import { useAudio } from "react-awesome-audio";
import song from "./assets/song.mp3";

const App = () => {
  const { isPlaying, play, pause, toggle } = useAudio({
    src: song,
    loop: true,
  });

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={toggle}>{isPlaying ? "Pause" : "Play"}</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Note: To import audio file from assets in TypeScript, you need to use require() instead of ES6 import, see this for more details.
