running;
windows vista ultimate
windows live messenger 8.0
msn plus 4.11

i was about about to watch a movie the other day and found out that i could mute only the msn messenger application if i clicked the speaker-icon and then clicked on the word "mixer", so i did and this far no worries. but the very next day when i wanted to use msn again i had no sound, it came to my mind that i had muted it the day before so i just reversed the procedure but this didn´t solve the problem... =/
anybody know what i am doing wrong..?

and yep, everything is in order when i enter "tools" "alternative" "alerts and sounds" in windows live messenger...

please help me.

regards /Danny

Uninstall wlm and reinstall it, might repair the sound files
i had this problem before and i had to restart my computer (you could try that but the first one is more likely to work),

are you using the muter script?

and yes, already tried to uninstall and reinstall wlm, same problem though... =/

Is there any chance that wlm is being block by a firewall
When you go to tools - options - Alerts and sounds - a sound and play, can you here it then
Also try Reapplying your wlm defaul sounds

yep, then my computer plays the sound, thats a little bit strange i think...
more ideas..?

So it's solved or not???
How anbout making an "ignore" on Firewall about WLM if is that's the problem???

have you tried all of them
well im puzzeled
got an idea, if you set your own default sounds does it play it them ?

nope, didn´t change a thing... =(

I had that problem once some time ago. I remember a bit. Go into Control Panel -> Sounds and audio devices -> Sounds and there look the scheme. It should be empty (in my case??) or set to windows-standard. I think I solved my problem that way. I'm not sure thought. Try that and tell me the result.

I remember. Go back there where i said. Have a look if under 'MSN Messenger' there are sounds. A little audio icon should be there. If not: Go to the MSN Messenger folder and there should be 6 or 7 .wav files. You must add them to that Scheme then. Got me?

back to basics then.
Can you hear music etc
if not then i suggest you do a clean uninstall, by going add or remove programs removing it there then going C;/ - programs files - msn messenger and delete it then go back to the page and down load it also do the same for MP!L programs files - Messenger  Plus live!

@elektra: If the sounds are deleted in Windows I don't know if they will be added that way. He said he uninstalled and installed again. Still no sound!! So let him try my way...

I don't know. I had 'MSN messenger' in the "windows default scheme". But it seems that it has gone . Weird Windows . Sorry i can't help you further. But the way i told you helped me last time when the sounds in MSN have gone...

Anyways. I'll do some researches for you. Maybe Google tells me a possibility...
