This would require someone to load a plugin like Windows Media Player, VLC or quicktime within the browser. You would be better off resorting to the new HTML5 audio tag as this would use a browser native audio decoder.
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_audio.asp
Code: Select all
echo '<audio controls>
<source src="clink_sound.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>';
May I ask, as I noticed the file name is "clink_sound.mp3", what is variable about it? Is it an audio someone places in the chat, or is it a sound when someone receives a message? In this case it would be better to play the sound through JavaScript as your DOM will become cluttered with audio objects.

i just use that sound to send out alert every time someone chat, when the chat window is minimize. Yup! i even use Html 5 audio tag code you suggested but i can't seem to get it working. i even try to put the tag everywhere and still no result (trying to add in the javascript/ajax-chat_bar module). if you can look into the chat_bar module and tell me where should i add this script that would be great. thank you!
the location of this "clink.mp3" at the beginning of the directory where the "index.php" file is located. I figure this way i won't have any permission problem accessing it.

Nope. I add the script to the chat_bar.js everywhere and it did not work. I tried the html5 audio tag and even the javascript audio script.

Currently I'm totally overbooked (sadly), however I will do my best to squash a bit of time this week for this and come with something.
