type about:plugins into the nav bar to see if you have any audio player
plugin files compatible with the Netscape specification installed on
your system.

OK, let's start with some simple tests.

Test 1. Try these two web pages

1a http://www.houndsofheaven.com/baner.htm
1b http://www.wtv-zone.com/bluefox/bgsound.html

Do you hear music playing?
(Note: the music doesn't repeat after it gets to the end, so don't go out
for a long cup of coffee while the page loads.)

If you hear sound, then you already have a plug-in for sound files.
Go on to test #2.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
If you do not hear sound, then you may need to install and configure
a browser plug-in for playing sound files.

Plug-ins can be downloaded from
(a) http://plugins.netscape.com/ (for sound, the choices are
QuickTime or RealPlayer).
(b) http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows.html
(for sound, the choices are QuickTime, RealPlayer, or
Windows Media Player).
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————


2. Try these two web pages

2a http://www.rocketcitychorus.com/Chorus.html
2b http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/backmusic.shtml

Do you hear music playing?

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
If you hear sound in 1a and 1b, but not in 2a or 2b, then you need
to turn on Javascript in Firefox.

Tools -> Options -> Content
[x] Enable JavaScript
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————


3. If you hear sound in both test 1 and test 2 but you still don't
hear sound on some websites, can you please post a link.
