This should work!
If not then try to check you plug-ins...

<html>
<head>
<title><!-- Sample --></title>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function playSound( mysound )
{ thisSound = document.getElementById(mysound);
  thisSound.Play();
}
//-->
</script>

</head>
<body>
<embed src="someaudiofile.mp3/mid/wav" autostart="false" width="0" height="0" id="sound1" enablejavascript="true" />

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onmouseover="playSound('sound1');">Play Sound!</a>
</body>
</html>

Thank you so much for your kind help. Its working in firefox. But actually problem is this that with this script sound does not come instantly as it comes in other script which i use for IE.

Following is the code that the author at this website claims that it runs on every browser. (99%)

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
    width="40"
    height="40"
    id="audio1"
    align="middle">
    <embed src="wavplayer.swf?h=1&w=1"
        bgcolor="#ffffff"
        width="40"
        height="40"
        allowScriptAccess="always"
        type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
        pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
    />
</object>
 
<script>
function getPlayer(pid) {
    var obj = document.getElementById(pid);
    if (obj.doPlay) return obj;
    for(i=0; i<obj.childNodes.length; i++) {
        var child = obj.childNodes[i];
        if (child.tagName == "EMBED") return child;
    }
}
function doPlay(fname) {
    var player=getPlayer("audio1");
    player.play(fname);
}
function doStop() {
    var player=getPlayer("audio1");
    player.doStop();
}
</script>
 
<form>
<input type="button" value="Play Sound" onClick="doPlay('duck.wav')">
<input type="button" value="Stop Sound" onClick="doStop()">
</form>
