sound greyed out in redesigned site (DWT ?)

I am not able to add sound.
option is grayed out.
page options / authoring are all set to custom.
Is this related to DWT ?
Do I need to create a dwt that excepts the sound option, if possible?

Yes, it is related to the DWT. FrontPage places the <bgsound tag in the
<Head> section of the page, which is (mostly) not an editable region.

Your options are:

Add the sound to the DWT. This will place the sound in every page using
that DWT.
After adding the sound, in code view, you can move the sound tag inside the
editable region in the <head> section near the <title> tag, the sound tag
can then be deleted on pages where it is not needed.

Or:
Make a copy of the existing DWT, add sound to the copy and apply the copy to
pages where sound is applicable. Again, moving the sound tag to the
editable region enables you to change the sound file in code view.
