Hello, Im a new to game developement, and i found this site, and i thought it might be fun to create a 2D game using this engine. However, I went to the Getting Started Page on the wiki, and thats about as far as i got, how Would i go about, adding sound to the Hello World Code given on the Getting started page?

Hello and welcome to the forums! Did you look at the tutorials page yet, and particularly this one?

http://love2d.org/wiki/Tutorial:Audio

One possible place to add sound playing would be as response to events. To learn about them, you can read about callbacks here:

http://love2d.org/wiki/Tutorial:Callback_Functions

If you would like to see some short but complete example programs using these features, you should ask. I am sure people will be happy to help and provide code snippets. But, I think you'll find out that LÖVE is not at all complicated and it is easy to get started by just trying things out. Have fun!

I would start by returning to the wiki page and clicking on the link for love.audio.
From here you should learn how to initialize/preload whatever sounds you want outside of your main loop using newSource.
Then I would totally memorize love.audio.play( ____ ) because it's just that easy.

Best of luck,
