Title: Trouble with Audible Notification
Post by: barnabas2008 on February 26, 2009, 10:58:22 AM

I am attempting to figure out why on my Vista running IE 7 or Firefox I can not get the audible notification to work.  When I use my other laptop with Windows XP Pro with IE 8 the notifications work just fine.  Is there something that needs to be set differently for Vista?  I do not have the application running locally, I am accessing through the internet.

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Run Firefox as admin is my best guss.

Ok, I don't have vista but will try to check somewhere.
Do you have media player installed?

Try to navigate to:

Does it work?

Same here... other people who are admin can't hear the alert. They hear a sound when each message is typed, but hear nothing when user initiates a chat...

FYI, in case one of the devs reads this thread, this package looks promising for cross-platform/browser sound support using flash:

If I get some time, I may look at hacking this in myself.

Works fine with Safari on Mac.

It seems to be VISTA related.  Other OS's and most browsers seem to be working okay.
