Adding Audio to Your Page
Add background sound to play when a visitor opens the page in 3 easy steps:

1. In Page view, right-click the page, and then click Page Properties on the shortcut menu. 
2. On the General tab under “Background sound:” type the sound file you want to play in the “Location:” box, or click Browse to locate the file. 
3. Then select Loop or Forever properties and click OK. 

This method does not allow your visitor to turn off the sound while viewing the page. If you use background sound, setting the sound to loop only once is a good idea.
