If a page fails to play embedded audio but you do not get a 'Missing Plugin' alert, then it is possible that the page uses the non-standard 'bgsound' tag instead of the 'embed' tag to embed the audio file. To make these pages work, you can install the 'BGM Conductor' extension from here: http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=369 This extension changes all bgsound tags to embed tags when you view the page, allowing Firefox to detect the embedded audio.

However, I recommend you also e-mail the webmaster for the page and ask him to change it. :)

This article seems to overlap a bit with Video or audio doesn't play. I suggest that common themes (e.g. that the Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox is not as omnipotent as the Internet Explorer ActiveX version) be factored out into a separate article concerning "which plugin for which file type". This could then also be linked to from Streaming media (Firefox).--Mozcerize 14:09, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I added a "see also" link to the Video or audio doesn't play article. The MIME types article includes a link to MIME Type list and related plugins - PluginDoc that covers which plugins go with which MIME types, if that helps you or anyone else thinking of creating a new "which plugin for which file type" article.

Formatting

I've taken out the prettytable and replaced it with wiki-style code formatting. It's what we use everywhere else.--Np 16:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, OK. It's just that I got a complaint on the "wiki-style" formatting on a different page, from someone who said that the content overflowed the "box" onto the links to the right. The prettytable will wrap the content when the window is resized or in cases of lower screen resolution or bigger fonts but, on second thought, maybe you don't want wrapping as it may split a tag, for example, width="0" height="0"> may appear on a second line and you might not want that.
