Notification sounds

[OP3]

I can't get any mail notification sounds at all in Entourage 2008. They're turned on and don't work. (Yes, computer volume is on and up). Any hints?

Thanks

Yeah, you're screwed. Microsoft released Office 2008 without properly
testing it on Leopard. So until an update comes out, you, me and many others
have a email client with no notification sounds. Not sure how they missed
this one.

Again, can we please be clear that THIS IS NOT A LEOPARD ISSUE. It happens on Tiger as well.

Jeez that sucks. I guess should expect nothing less from Microcrap.

Sounds were working fine for me until I attempted to turn off just the "No Mail" sound. Now none of the sounds work.

What about after you apply the Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Service
Pack 1 (12.1.0) update?

No notification issue here with 12.1.0. The SP1 update worked perfect
and I have no issues to report.

Only have one question. Where did MS hide the AutoUpdater in 2008. The
reason I want to know is to use my Time Machine backup to see what
version was used before applying the SP1 update. I think (not sure) that
SP1 updated it to version 2.2.0. The only way I can check is to use the
HELP menu item to launch the AutoUpdater. BTW, the previous version
had a button you could click to check for Installed Updates. That button
has been removed on the AutoUpdater 2.2.0

The Office 2008 MAU is now hidden away.

/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0

Hi,

I just installed the SP1 update and still no notification sounds. Tried unsetting them all, quitting Entourage, restarting, etc. but no luck.

Thanks

Ok - on a whim I thought I would reboot (that used to solve many of the Windows XP ills) and voilà! Notification sounds are working after the reboot! I'm not touching them for now - maybe someone else can be a guinea pig.

Thanks for your replies.
