    Try below code, I changed document.write and assigned the value to document.getElementById("sound").innerHTML

    function playSound(soundfile,soundfile1) 
  {
    document.getElementById("sound").innerHTML= "<embed src=\""+soundfile+"\" hidden=\"true\" autostart=\"true\" loop=\"true\" />";
    setTimeout(function(){document.getElementById("sound").innerHTML= '<EMBED src= "' + soundfile1 + '" hidden=true    autostart=true loop=false>'},2000);
    setTimeout(function(){alert("You have successfully launched the MedOrient website! \n Thank you for launching Sri sai medical jobs.");},3000);
    setTimeout("window.location='http://url'",8000);
  }
