Bug in Chrome, possibly Webkit as well: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=25972
Short audio files won't play.
Solution 2
Try to host your audio file somewhere and try this:
audio = new Audio('http://www.yourhosting.com/chat.ogg');
audio.play();

I'm trying to get HTML5's audio tag to work in Chrome. The following code works flawlessly in Firefox, any ideas why it isn't working in Webkit?
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function init(){ audio = new Audio("chat.ogg"); audio.play(); } </script> </head> <body onload="init()"> </body>I should also note that I tried this with an mp3 as well. Regardless of what format, whenever .play() is called on audio, Chrome responds with "undefined".
