To play the sound I use this code: <embed src="sound.mp3" hidden="true" autostart="true" loop="false">. Example: http://www.w3schools.com/media/tryit.asp?filename=trymedia_soundmidiembed

But Mozilla (just tried in Mozilla and it’s enough why I want to find a solution) asks for the plugin (QuickTime). So, my question is, can I substitute my code to play the sound without asking people to download certain plugin? Or what should I do?

By the way, it is for live chat, when message arrives I add this code to the body.

Thank you.

    I suggest looking into using HTML5’s <audio> tag. Here’s a good starting point: http://html5doctor.com/native-audio-in-the-browser/

    Code example:

    <audio src="media.mp3" controls preload="auto" autobuffer></audio>
