On some of the web sites that I write and host there is a background sound. The html is bgsound=filename.wav. The sounds play on IE but don't play on Firefox. Why not?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== always

bgsound only works in IE and not in other browsers. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Background_music_does_not_play

Export the .wav to both .oga and .mp3 formats using Audacity, then do the code like this: <audio autoplay><source src="filename.oga"><source src="filename.mp3"><bgsound src="filename.mp3"></audio> This will play it in the latest versions of all 5 major browsers.
