playing sound files in VB 3.7.1

[Noosphere]

Newb alert.

I spent years participating and modding a vbulletin board (never used the admin cp or did any coding). On that board, in order to embed a sound file, all you had to do was to put either [sound].....[/sound] or [waver]......[/waver] tags around the url location of the sound file. That was it.... However, on our new board, this doesn't work. I know - probably a stupid question (yes - they exist!) and simple answer (they always are when you know them!). Help a learnin' brother out.

I really always thought the bb tags and url were all that was necessary (at least for basic sound files (wavs, mp3, midi, etc..)...
