The github page provides steps how it works, but assumes basic web coding skills. And you must provide the sound file for each gif in two formats: mp3 and ogg for full browser compatibility.

Looking at your code, you have two </body> tails, which means your html doesn't validate, and may get in the way of a working page. So solve that first.

Other things to check:

  • You must have a sounds folder. In that folder you need two sub-folders: mp3 and ogg
  • Convert your mp3 sound file to ogg Online OGG converter
  • Place the mp3 version in the mp3 folder.
  • Place the ogg version in the ogg folder.
  • In your js folder, copy the loudlinks.min.js file.
  • At the end of your html file just before the tail of the body insert the link to the loudlinks javascript file
  • Add your image, and attach the loud-link-hover class.
  • Also add an attribute data-sound="mysound". No need to add an extension. The script will search for the audio file(s) in the sounds sub folders.

That's it.

Here is a simple example I made for you:

Unzip, and open the index.html file in dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver is a tool that you use similar to any other tool. A hammer does not build a house, it is a tool to help you build the house.

Having said that, your question has been answered here html5 - How do i get sound to a gif in dreamweaver - Stack Overflow

GIFs are image files.  They cannot support sounds natively because they are merely images.

If you want animation with sounds, use MP4 video instead of images.
