Question

Answer 1

A:

The sound file may not have finished loading when init is called, but if you include an alert or when you manually click a button, there is enough time in between for the browser to have loaded the file.

That being said, embed is a non-standard and deprecated tag, and you really shouldn't be using it for playing sounds. Have a look at the HTML5 audio tag instead.

How to use this in my scenario? THank you for help

vishnu 2010-10-20 19:19:23

See this page for some examples: [HTML5 Audio and JavaScript Control](http://www.storiesinflight.com/html5/audio.html)

Thank you. But this tag is not supported by IE8 correct

vishnu 2010-10-20 19:43:49

You're right about that. At the moment, the only safe way to support all browsers is to use Flash.

I need only two beeps on error. It i introduce some delay, it is working. But can i repeat the same sound two times. Can i do that

vishnu 2010-10-20 19:50:02

@casablanca - *"the only safe way to support all browsers is to use Flash"* - except that not all browsers have Flash (e.g., iPhones, iPads, and most Androids). So no, Flash won't do it either.

Can you provide us example to use flash? this flash plays without deplay?

vishnu 2010-10-21 02:56:01

This soution i have used is supporting cross browser(ie,firefox,opera) as discussed in http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/mark/audio/play.htm

vishnu 2010-10-21 02:59:13

@vishnu - that page says (at the bottom) that it was "Last revised 23 March 2005". It doesn't mention Chrome, Safari, or mobile browsers. The latest version of IE tested was 6. The latest version of FF tested was 1.0. The author only tested on Windows. You're wasting your time.

Answer 2

A:

By Introducing delay according to comment by casablanca, sound is playing in java script.Here is the code i have added: This referring link Introduce delay

function callback(){
    return function(){
 PlaySound('sound1');

    }
}
function init() {
  //  alert("");
setTimeout(callback(), 500);
 }

vishnu 2010-10-20 19:54:43

This introduced delay is not working properly in firefox

Answer 3

A:

If you want a web page to play a sound via JavaScript, and you want the page to:

validate
work in all modern browsers
work across multiple platforms
work without plugins

The answer is simple: you can't do it. End of story.

Sure, you can come up with an example that works in one version of one browser on one platform, but I'll guarantee you: it won't work everywhere.

Dori 2010-10-21 02:39:35

Well, if you define *modern* as not IE, `<audio>` works perfectly well

Yi Jiang 2010-10-21 09:32:32

Sadly, most of us cannot—the best we can do is say no to IE6.

Answer 4

A:

a fast and dirty way (it also compatible with old browsers, even IE5) is to use can embedded a small wave file inside your javascript which then could be played as a resources (without saving to actual file), use binary encoding (same as embedding PNG into JS). a better way is building a JS Audio object, playing a bit (with buffer) that can be generated any frame-sound you'll like...

use JS Audio Object

var output = new Audio();
output.mozSetup(1, 44100);
var samples = new Float32Array(22050);
for (var i = 0, l = samples.length; i < l; i++) {
samples[i] = Math.sin(i / 20);
}

(also here)

Elad Karako 2010-10-21 09:11:13

This Audio(); is recognizing only fire fox. but not ie?

Answer 5

A:

If we generate sound using jquery sound plug in, http://plugins.jquery.com/project/sound_plugin playing sound on start up/java script without much delay. Working fine in IE and firefox.
