Best way to play sound with HTML5 and Javascript

I'm trying to play a sound and i have found two ways that works for me. Which is the better way and why? is a good idea add a "load" event listener?

First way:

$(document).ready(function() {  

  var audioElement = document.createElement('audio');  

  audioElement.setAttribute('src', 'sound.ogg');  

  audioElement.addEventListener("load", function(){  

      audioElement.play();  

  }, true);



  audioElement.play();  

});

Second way:

$(document).ready(function() {  

  audioElement = new Audio('sound.ogg');  

  audioElement.play();  

});
