    Anyone know how to play a sound every time the mouse hovers on a main Nav menu item?

    I've done that myself, using Javascript and sound files.  It's way out of scope for Genesis support, though, IMO.  Also, I would strongly suggest avoiding that anyway.  Using unexpected sound anywhere on a site is extremely annoying to many site visitors, myself included.

    I TOTALLY agree!! My customer requested and he's always right. Thanks for you response all the same.

    Ah, very good. I hear you - I get asked to do all kinds of bizarre things against advice, and if I do them, I just don't put them in my portfolio!

    Here's something I found in a quick websearch that could be of help.  Another possibility is the <audio> HTML5 tag.  Genesis is not officially pumping out HTML5 yet, although I've experimented successfully in getting it to work.

    Cheers
