How To play 25MB+ audio file directly from google drive in HTML 5?

Question

I am fetching 25+ MB Audio file from google drive.

I need to play this file using html5 code.

For this i am using below code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<audio controls>
  <source src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1gAlyxjlHyaZldJTUZsTWwybGM/view"> 
  Your browser does not support the audio element.
 </audio>

 </body>
</html>

Using this code files which are below 25 MB plays properly. But if it is more then 25 MB then it wont. Please suggest any way to solve this point where i can play files which are more then 25 MB. Thank you.

does an error occur anywhere when you try a larger file? It would be useful to clarify "won't play properly". — ADyson
does it work if you host the same file yourself (on the same server as the html page)? We should ascertain whether Drive is the issue here, or the size of the file. — ADyson
Yes,Google drive has an issue of size limit of allowing only 25 MB file. So is there any alternative way to do this task where i can play files of more than 25 MB. — Ronak
Looking online I can't find any evidence of such a limitation on Drive - can you provide a reference? There used to be a 25MB size limit on GMail attachements, but that's not relevant to Drive. If your file is already in Drive and is bigger than 25MB, then clearly Drive doesn't have that storage limit. However, if hosting it there is stopping you playing it in a web page, then the simplest solution is to host it somewhere else. — ADyson
