    [SOLVED] unable to play embed wav files in 10.04

    so here's what I"m trying to use. I click on the play button and nothing happens

    Code:
    <embed src="done/VM161650.WAV" width="200" height="20" autoplay="false" controller="true"></embed>
    Any Ideas? It just switches to the pause option and nothing happens. Sound Manager doesn't even show a sound device active. I can download and play the file without issue. It occurs in both Chrome and Firefox.

    This issue didn't occur in Ubuntu 9.10. Anyone seen a bug on this or a related issue? Also, my sound volume is incredibly low even when it does play and I haven't been able to resolve that either... any ideas?

    If anyone stumbles across this and can't seem to get multimedia files like wav, mp4 etc to play in firefox or chrome I got it fixed by installing mozilla-plugin-vlc and gecko-mediaplayer packages. YOu can get them from package manager or go to terminal and

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc
    sudo apt-get install gecko-mediaplayer
