Is HTML5 a viable option for you? Then use the element <audio>:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_Audio[^],
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#the-audio-element[^],
http://www.w3.org/TR/webaudio/[^].

This element has the method play() which you can call in your handler of "hover": http://api.jquery.com/hover/[^].

leave second function(mouseout) blank so audio plays only when entering mouse into "a" tag

C#

$("a").hover(function(){
    var audio = $('<audio>', {
      autoPlay : 'autoplay',
      controls : 'controls'
    });
    addSource(audio, 'audio/ding.mp3');
    addSource(audio, 'audio/ding.wav');
    addSource(audio, 'audio/ding.ogg');
    },function(){

    });
