Hello Anna,
I use SL3 and I got this to work, but I had to struggle a bit to learn how to do it. Here's what I did:
Note that when I would publish it created a folder that contained many files, two of which we will focus on:
story.html
and
story_html5.html

1. In your story.html file, open it with notepad (or your favorite html editor) BEFORE (NOT BETWEEN) the </body> and </html> tags, place this code snippet:
<audio src="NAMEOFYOURAUDIOFILE.mp3" preload="auto" autoplay loop></audio>
---
2. In your story_html5.html file, open it with notepad (or your favorite html editor) BETWEEN (NOT BEFORE) the </body> and </html> tags, place this code snippet:
<audio src="NAMEOFYOURAUDIOFILE.mp3" preload="auto" autoplay loop></audio>
***I made sure to put a space and a hard return after the code snippet, as was instructed in the original post, and that appeared to help.

3. Make sure to put the mp3 file in the folder at root level (meaning in the same folder as the story_html5.html file). Make sure the file name of the mp3 matches the name in the code precisely!
I hope this helps! I haven't had a chance to see how it works after loading onto our particular LMS, but so far it works in previewing and the output files are working for me! :) Good luck!
