Messenger Sound Problem by Tourist on 05-09-2006 at 10:38 AM

Hello

I've recently re-installed Messenger 7.5.0324 but now when contact comes online or a new message is recieved.. I don't get any sound alert. Just silence.

I have checked the Sounds & Alert options.. all of it's ticked.

When I go into the computer sound device settings.. the list of sounds, there is no sounds of MSN Messenger.. only Windows Messenger.

I am using a clean version with MSN Plus installed.

Many thanks.

Go to C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger and check that there should be 6 *.wav files.

Also check this-

All 6 sound wavs are there.. and I also changed it to Windows Default sounds but no change.

I think this is silly but is your speaker connected/switched on?:p

All my other sounds work fine.. Playing music right now.. just the MSN Messenger sounds are not working.

Forgot to mention that this problem started after I uninstalled the latest Messenger Live version... it didn't work for me so I went back to 7.5 but ever since I installed 7.5 again.. theres no sound.

Yeah what Sunshine posted is probably how I solved this problem: It is a known bug which occurs when uninstall WLM then reinstalling MSN75.

I was gonna post the regedit code I used to fix this... but I lost it.
