RE: invisible sound on webpage? - RichardGv - 08-06-2010
There are several ways to achieve the effect, I believe:
- A hidden < audio > tag will probably work, but since it's a HTML5 tag, the cross-browser compatibility is not so great right now.
The detailed methods can be found on Google, or some links given here:Code:IE 6/7/8 No support
Firefox 3.5.x - 3.6.x wav, ogg
Safari "Safari on the desktop supports any media the installed version of QuickTime can play", they said, thus H.264, MP3, AAC, and WAV should work, but ogg may not work.
Chromium/Chrome ogg, wav, mp3, aac
Opera ogg, wav (On Linux, Opera supports the formats GStreamer does)

- Flash. It works on most cases, provided that the user did not intentionally block Flash, and does have Flash installed. There are a lot of Flash audio players available, for instance: (Keep in mind that I cannot guarantee these things are safe!)

http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/

(And you can hide a Flash player easily.)
- There are also cases of video relying on other plugins, e.g. Windows Media Plugin. Of course, this is usually a bad idea.

IE9 will support it, but only play MP3 and AAC, not WAV, which is weird, as it's a Microsoft-IBM developed format.
By the way, you can stack multiple sources inside the audio tag, so that if one format is incompatible, it will automatically go on to the next format, and play it if possible:
Code:
<audio controls autobuffer>
<source src="elvis.ogg" />
<source src="elvis.mp3" />
<!-- now include flash fall back -->

Seriously, a lot of people are browsing the internet at night while the rest of the people are asleep, autoplaying is annoying, autoplaying + hidden is awful!
