Hi folks,

I am trying to get a sound to play with a new email, but not having much
luck. I am using Outlook XP (SP2) on Window's XP.

I have tried testing the new mail notification in Control Panel > Sounds. It
works fine.

Outlook Express has exactly the same problem.

Sounds will work if I setup a rule, but I would rather not use this.

I have checked the registry entry for MailBeep, and this is correct. I have
added the full path anyway and tried other sounds. Still no success.

Any ideas?

Thanks
 
Here's a WAG - try reinstalling Office Sounds from Office Downloads?

Same here. No problem with any sounds in Outlook 1997, 1998 and 2000. Only
started when I installed 2003.
