sounds

I'm trying to get jQuery to play a sound on element hover/click. (It's like a flash website without flash)

I've tried the methods recommended in Cross-platform, cross-browser way to play sound from Javascript?, the jQuery Sound plugin and a couple of other tutorials without any success. I'm assuming this is because they haven't been updated since 2008.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
