No BG sounds with IE 5.0

Since upgrading to IE5.0 the background sounds on web pages are not playing automatically. I have also installed the SP1 and the program updates that come with it and still the sounds won't play automatically. It seems like I hear a VERY short blip of the sound when I click on another link to surf elsewhere, but it is only during that fraction of a second as I click. I can play all sound files manually that are on my computer, but it is not playing the sounds at the web pages when I'm surfing. I have checked and in the Advanced Tab, Play Sounds box is checked. I found that when I go to a web page, if I click on File/Properties and then click on the "Certificates" button at the bottom, the background music or sound file will begin to play and I get a message saying that this type of document has no security certificates. But the music continues to play after that for as many loops as is designated or until I leave the page just like normal. But if I go to another page with background sound the whole problem starts again, "no auto play". Any ideas??? Thenks for your help.
