Maybe itsa bug: i'm using last editions of Messenger and Plus!, WinXP /w SP2, and the problem is - when the word filtering feature is on in Plus!, and i'm filtering the word "says:", then i can't here emoticon sounds. When i send or recieve these sounds, i see only message "Messenger Plus! sound, code {} blabla" . When the word filtering feature is off, then i can hear all sounds, and messages are normal.
Filtering other words doesn't cause any problems.

sorry i just found it myself. thanks

i have a similar bug. i tryed playing the emotion sounds yesterday but when i sent them i didn't hear anything. (yes my sound was turned on, and no my pc's volume wasn't muted.) i even went into the sound manager selected a sound and clicked the preview button and still i got no sound. when i read this thread i thought ok maybe i have filtring enabled and that might be the cause, but i just checked i do NOT have filtering enabled at all and yet i still cannot play my emotion sounds. as a quick experiment i even tried using the old emotion sounds to see if it was only the sound packs that had the problem, unfortunately the problem is affecting all emotion sounds i am not sure whether this problem has occured since installing 3.51 or whether they just stopped working cause of installing the sound packs but i know emotion sounds worked fine for me on plus 3.50. any suggestions?

Check you have the sounds turned on in Plus's preferences.

yes i checked my plus preferences the sounds are turned on and still no change.

I have the same problem as stuartbennett, my contacts can hear the emotion sound but i can't, even in the playback preview.
All my sound preferences r checked.

You need Allow built in sounds to be played ticked etc which you say you have

Which Plus! version are you running? There was an update the other day

all my sound options are ticked my configuration is as follows:

msn messenger 7.0.0777 final
messenger plus 3.51.128
stuffplug 2.2.47
mess patch 7.0.0777
windows xp pro sp2 pre-installed

Do sounds play in other applications? If so, then change the codec in Plus's settings. If not, then try updating your soundcard drivers.
