My tablet, Yoga 8, will play some audios, but I found a website for practicing listening to Thai, and the play buttons show up as little blue, inactive icons. Any suggestions on what to do?

I am not certain of the answer, but will have an educated guess... the audio file format is not supported by your player.

Try this; it supports a large number of formats:

Download them to a PC and just use an audio converter ( hundreds of free ones out there) to change the files to MP3. The files you see are probably WMA ( Windows Media Audio) and an Android device usually won't read them.

They are almost certainly not WMA (nobody in their right mind will put a platform dependant media format on a website), but rather FLV (Flash Video), which does not play on most mobile devices these days - Android and iOS both.

VLC for video; PowerAmp for audio.

I've never used VLC player on an android device but on my PC it plays every format I ever tried. Your problem maybe flashplayer based tho'

Thanks for all of the replies. I just downloaded VLC, and that did the trick.
