hmm
Although it's checked, it only plays a sound when I have set up a specific
rule to play a sound when a certain type of mail arrives.
Is something wrong?

I may be confused.
I have some rules that play sounds when mail arrives (like from a certain
person)
So the rules that exist do call for an alert.
I want a sound for everything.
To clarify; Outlook will only play a sound for messages that arrive in the
Inbox folder (as stated in the option name). If you start to move around
mails by rules then the sound will not play as it is not delivered in the
Inbox folder. Therefore, Brian said that you need to specify that (play a
sound) in the rule
If you add the "play a sound" action to all your rules, you might as well
create a generic rule to play a sound when a message arrives and make it the
first rule to process. Similar to; http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/mailalert2003.htm

ahhh. Thanks.
So would it help if I changed all the rules to delete the sound option?
