Shoutbox

Well I just did a quick search for sound alerts and didn't get anything similar.

On MSN7.5 and MsgPlus! 3 I had sound alerts set for certain contacts. So when they signed in, it would make a noise so I would know. Since upgrading to WLM and MsgPlus! Live it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

I have checked and double checked the settings, and the contacts are set, and the sounds are set. But when a contact who is selected signs on, it doesn't always make the sound - more often I get no noise than I do.

When they do work they are VERY quiet compared to 7.5 and MsgPlus! 3. I could always hear the sounds above any music or games I had running. Now everything has to be turned right down (Winamp at 30% volume for example, rather than 100%) to hear the sound notification - if it gives me the sound notification.

Any ideas?
