Alert sounds in Entourage 2008

[ecnemergut]

Under Preferences-->Notification-->Sounds I have all the alert sounds (welcome, new mail, sent mail, etc.) "checked" but I ONLY hear the sounds when Entourage is started. That is to say, if I sent mail or get new mail after Entourage is already running, there is no alter sound.

I am using Mac OS X.5.2 on a MacBook Pro and (obviously) I know my speakers work.

Anyone know if a fix?

"YES" you know of a fix? What is it?

This is a known issue with no current fix. We know that an Office 12.0.1
update is scheduled for release around March 11 but we don't know if it
will address this problem.

Hope this helps!

I have the same problem. Only started when I upgraded to the latest "Word".

Hope there's a fix soon. That's a feature I liked.
