Why does Yahoo messenger knock me off?

Why don't I have any Yahoo Messenger sounds since I downloaded the lastet version. No buzzing or knock knock e

  • Answer:

    Yahoo! changed the sounds from v800701 (released 10 August 06) onwards to "new" ones (they are actually from the Mac version) so our familiar sounds are no more and yes, they are incredibly difficult to hear :( the fastest and easiest option is to download Yahoo Sound Alerts Reset here: http://www.wackyb.co.nz/option,com_remository/Itemid,3894/func,fileinfo/id,12/ which once run, means you can select from old or new sounds for each individual user and event you can happily download future versions of yahoo messenger without having the replace the .wav files again :) alternately, you can download the .wav files included in previous versions from.. http://www.wackyb.co.nz/option,com_remository/Itemid,3894/func,fileinfo/id,1/ instructions included with the .zip file but basically just unzip the file, copy and paste all the .wav files included or just the ones you want to revert back to e.g the buzz one, and drop them into C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Media and overwrite when prompted :) the major disadvantage of this method is that future upgrades of Yahoo! Messenger will overwrite the .wav files again so they will need to be replaced or you can use any .wav file of your choice, Messenger > Preferences > Alerts & Sounds then start replacing the sounds for the specific events e.g scroll down to a When I receive an Instant Message (and the other alert options available) and click on it then under Alert Me By click on Browse and navigate your way to the sound file you wish to use click Open, click Apply, click OK

Go into Messenger right click on the “Yahoo Messenger” and then choose preferences. Then go to sounds and alerts! There should be a check on the enabling sounds

go to messenger on the left side of your ym then go to preferences then look for calling/audio on it...u can arrange the status of your sound.maybe your default is on silent put it on ring tone as your default.
