Playing Sound In Internet Explorer Mobile 6

we have a web application which is targeted to work on Internet Mobile Explorer 6. We need to play a sound when the user inputs an incorrect ... 'input'. Any idea what is supported

Solution 1:

I know this question is somewhat old, but I think it still deserves an answer. This is how I got it working. If you are only targeting IE6 Mobile, you could so something like the following in your head tag:

<bgsound id="bgSoundId" loop="0" volume="100" />

And then have a JavaScript function like so:

function playSound() {
    document.getElementById("bgSoundId").src = "path/to/file.wav";
}

So, then you just call that function from your validation logic.

Solution 2:

Try <bgsound> in <embed> in <audio> (to support as much browser, as you could)

<audio src="sound.url" type="mime/type">
  <embed src="sound.url" type="mime/type">
    <bgsound src="sound.url">
    </bgsound>
  </embed>
</audio>

But embed & bgsound has no generic way to start playing from javascript, as far as i can tell.
