Browser compat chrome/firefox

Thius script only functions in IE, In chrome and firefox you dont get the sound.
How can I make it work for those browsers too?
Our users are mainly IE, Chrome, Firefox, not tested in opera etc

<!--
// Sound on Mouseover javascript supplied by http://www.hypergurl.com
 
var aySound = new Array();
// PLACE YOUR SOUND FILES BELOW
aySound[0] = "http://www.camosreptiles.com.au/kermsong.wav";
// Don't alter anything below this line
 
IE = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1 && document.all)? 1:0;
NS = (navigator.appName=="Netscape" && navigator.plugins["LiveAudio"])? 1:0;
ver4 = IE||NS? 1:0;
onload=auPreload;
 
function auPreload() {
if (!ver4) return;
if (NS) auEmb = new Layer(0,window);
else {
Str = "<DIV ID='auEmb' STYLE='position:absolute;'></DIV>";
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML("BeforeEnd",Str);
}
var Str = '';
for (i=0;i<aySound.length;i++)
Str += "<EMBED SRC='"+aySound[i]+"' AUTOSTART='FALSE' HIDDEN='TRUE'>"
if (IE) auEmb.innerHTML = Str;
else {
auEmb.document.open();
auEmb.document.write(Str);
auEmb.document.close();
}
auCon = IE? document.all.soundfiles:auEmb;
auCon.control = auCtrl;
}
function auCtrl(whSound,play) {
if (IE) this.src = play? aySound[whSound]:'';
else eval("this.document.embeds[whSound]." + (play? "play()":"stop()"))
}
function playSound(whSound) { if (window.auCon) auCon.control(whSound,true); }
function stopSound(whSound) { if (window.auCon) auCon.control(whSound,false); }

That's a really old script, it's meant to work in IE and Netscape. I still recommend Flash, but you could try an <object> .
