Solve : notification sounds?

Answer»

Can anybody tell me if they have had the same problem that I have had regarding the start and end notifications in I.E or FF browsers or in the My Documents Folder, I like to hear the confirmation sound when navigating to and fro between folders and when clicking on a link for INSTANCE, this has happened to me before but over a YEAR ago the sound then just returned severall months later, the same has happened again the other day!! Any ideas anybody?

Ashfield.Did you try going to your Control Panel-Sounds and Audio Devices-Sounds tab-then choose from Program Events for Systems Sound? There is also a Windows service startup that might be disabled that you need to check.
1.Click Start and the Run, Enter
2.Type services.msc - Enter.
3. Look for Windows Audio(check if its startup type is in Automatic).
4.If not, double-click Windows Audio and choose Automatic Startup type.
5. Make sure to hit Apply-Ok.Hi Jason2074, checked your advise and auto is ENABLED, all other sounds work fine its just the back/forward sounds that have stoped once again!

They are all here. Scroll down and highlight from your choice and choose from list of Sounds and try playback to test.

I actually lost clicking or system sounds currently too. Might check this on the NEXT startup of PC also. But still they are enabled under Sounds tab.
http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/disable-start-navigation-clicking-sound-in-ie/Hi again Jason 2074 and thanks for the tip, I have found the problem and it was indeed in the sounds/programme events/windows explorer/information BAR. So how this got disabled I just do not know, could have been one of the windows updates perhaps as they so often do change settings and you do not discover them until later - what a pain!!

I am going to make a note of this for next time.

Thanks again.
ashfield.
