RE: no sound when contacts comes online
Is your System Sounds volume high enough?
To check, right click the Speaker icon (Volume Control) in your Notification Area (also known as Tray bar) and select "Open Volume Mixer."
The Windows Live Messenger 2011 alerts are filed under "System Sounds," while when you play them manually, they play using the general volume settings.
I Windows Live Messenger 2011 Options > Alerts,
did you enable the correct alert triggers?
I Windows Live Messenger 2011 Options > Sounds,
have you selected the "Default" sound? Even when "No Sounds" option is turned off, you can still manually disable sounds for certain alerts in that menu as well, you may want to check.
In Messenger Plus! Preferences & Options > Features > Alerts,
You also have the option to trigger a pop-up with (or without) a sound alert. You may want to try and set one there as well, to see if that fixes the problem.
