Here is my embed tag

<embed src="http://localhost:8084/MIS/js/status_no.mp3" hidden="true" autostart="true" loop="false" class="playSound">

When I remove hidden property, sound gets played but when i set hidden property to true, sound does not play. I do not want to show the player to the user.

<audio>
    <source src="../js/Alarm_Buzzer.ogg" type="audio/ogg"></source>
</audio>

This worked for me in both chrome as well as firefox. Firefox did not support mp3 files but chrome did.

You can try to hide it with CSS:

.playSound { display: none; }

Also I'd like to suggest using the audio tag, it's meant for this type of content.

    thanks for your reply but audio tag does not seem to work on firefox. it works well on chrome though. Any suggestions for that – sonam Jul 07 '13 at 07:41

I would recommend converting your code into something like this and this works on all browsers

 <audio autoplay>
  <source src="http://localhost:8084/MIS/js/status_no.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
  <source src="http://localhost:8084/MIS/js/status_no.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

This code will work on all browsers, it will also be hidden and will start automatically.

If you add controls="controls" in audio tag then the audio player will be visible to the user. so for your case just don't add controls.

<audio  src="http://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_mfezft44rf1rge0duo1.mp3" autoplay="autoplay" loop="false" class="playSound"></audio>

Hope this helps!

I think this works but note : Very important
if video on you tube : the line is : 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vid number

but you have to write it in this form in the code 

https://www.youtube.com/v/watch?v=vid id

and will work fine
