Question

How can play sound using JavaScript only, without using the <audio> tag?

I’m using:

var audio = {};
audio["walk"] = new Audio();
audio["walk"].src = "Scr/dave.wma"
audio["walk"].load()
setTimeout('audio["walk"].play()',1000);

But it doesn’t play?

As Delan says, no browser supports WMA.

However, your code still has a problem.

You need to wait until the audio has loaded.

var audio = {};
audio["walk"] = new Audio();
audio["walk"].src = "Scr/dave.wma"
audio["walk"].addEventListener('load', function() {
    audio["walk"].play();
});
