Is it possible that the sound is being played on the server and you are not hearing it when trying to listen on the client side?

ya its true.
it plays it on server. Not on client machine. It worked on locahost because it is both server and client.

but how to play on client side..?

Well, the sound is being played on the server and not on the client machine. That's why you can't hear it :) So, to play sound on the client machine, you need to embed the sound using HTML <embed /> tag like <embed src="sound.wav" />. You can find details of the embed tag over the internet.

It looks like you used C# which will play sound on the server side.

To play sound on the client side (typically a Web Browser), you can use HTML (and especially HTML5), Javascript:
Playing Sounds in HTML - W3Schools[^]
or Play sound with javascript[^]
In flash: Using sounds in Flash[^]
