I have to say sorry, but I haven't any idea of why the problem is hapening, let's wait for someone else to reply... maybe there is a new solution....

Maybe we are skiping one little detail too...

aphrodite: The only suggestion I have, if you've already done this is to go to Plus > Preferences > General tab > Sounds > and make sure "Allow built-in sounds to be played" is checked.

Only other thing I can think of, is, are you set to Busy(though I don't think this effects playing sounds in the sound library)? And are you sure your sound is functioning properly, for example, can you hear normal messenger sounds, such as when you recieve a new message etc. And can you hear music etc say in WMP?

Yes everything is as it should be in the preferences, in WLM i can hear all the sounds except when a wink is sent to me, i see the animation but i don't hear the sound, but in WMP i hear everything, no sound problems, no audio codecs needed, no speaker problems. The computer says that everything is working as it should.... That's why this is soooo frustrating!

Make sure that your speakers are connected very correctly. I mean if your speakers are four point surround or 5+1 speaker system, check the connections to make sure that they are all correct and fits the instructions on the Manual of the speaker system.

Then, go to Control Panel>Audio, Speech and Music Devices>Audio Effect and Audio Devices>(On the Speaker settings part)Advanced> And here select the most appropriate speaker setting Because Windows Media Player uses all speakers on my computer ( I have a FourPointSurround system) when I'm listening to music on WMPlayer but Emotion Sounds and Winks (and maybe a bit more) uses only my Front speakers. (Also this help is valid for XP )

None of this matters as all other sounds work on her computer. Even those in messenger itself, just not those of Plus!.

But I am at a loss as to what else to suggest, aphrodite, sorry.

you can send me an email to mplus@patchou.com and we'll try to figure this out together.

Wait a minute....
Now I think I loose something...
Aren't you talking about Emotion Sounds????
When came the Winks on the story?????
So you have requested help to one thing, but actualy, the problem is in another point, no?????

Or the problem is with Plus!'s Emotion Sounds (I know it's a unneed repetition to say that is from Plus!) AND with winks????

Steady on... I asked for help with the emoticon sounds which are used in Messenger Plus otherwise I wouldn't have written in the Messenger Plus forum don't you think? It was merely an observation of mine that I came across 2 days ago that there was no sound when someone sent me a wink... Is that a good enough explanation for you?

I finally figured out the problem, I had a look on other forums and found the answer, I just added these drivers...

Into the registry editor and everything was working, thanks for all your help...

That means you needed to configure (and maybe even install) the proper drivers for your soundcard.

Putting those entries directly into the registry is not a good idea as they might/are different for everybody and it depends on what sound card you have etc.

That this worked for you is somewhat a coincidence. Well, not entirly though, as those drivers you listed are mostly the generic drivers, but still. You now might have other problems hearing sounds or playing stuff with other file formats and/or codecs..

Anyways, as said you should've checked your sound configuration and drivers in your Configuration Panel instead of manually adding (maybe incompatible) associations for drivers...
