I Lost My "Ding"! <g>

[edpaulw]

I used to be able to hear a "ding" when I would click the horizontal bar on the audio slider. Now, nothing.

Likely it has something to do with the sound files -- any suggestions?

Is the volume on the speakers turned up (hardware control), and are they not muted? Also check the Windows volume control.
Are the speakers connected to the correct port (ie the speaker out, or front speaker out if you have a surround sound card) and plugged in to the mains. Do you get other sounds?

Next, try the Sound and Multimedia control panel. Check that the sound is assigned to the Asterisk and Default beep events - I'm not sure which exactly is required here, but it is bound to be one of these.
Check you can play it properly from control panel.

Sound works fine except for this one "minor" anomaly.

I even reset the sound settings to the Windows Default and still no "ding".

It's not critical, just a puzzler!

Thanks for the suggestions, John. Maybe some obscure registry setting is causing this...

Right now only Critical and Low Battery Alarm seem to have ding.wav assigned to them.
