If I recall correctly the audio tag RFC first came out in 2000 but I'd be shocked if any major browsers supported it.

You could use EMBED to autoplay WAV and MIDI. IE (in classic Microsoft fashion) also defined BGSOUND for the same.

I remember an email signature from around that time that went "If I wanted your website to make sound, I'd have licked my finger and rubbed it across my monitor."

Since the mid 90s Internet Explorer & Netscape had aiff support and autoplay and Javascript 1.0. We had some good times.
