When my email program (Outlook 2003) gets mail, it is suppose to "announce" with a .wav file sound. Sometimes I hear it and sometimes I don't. Wondering why I don't always hear it? Computer is multi-tasking too much or? (Speaker volume IS up!).

It might be that your sound card is failing. If it is not the sound card, could it be a loose wire to the speakers or a faulty main board? It can not be software related, so it has to be the hardware. Can you change the IRQ for the soundcard for better response?

By default, Outlook 2003 plays a sound when new emails arrive. The New Email Sound can be configured through the Control Panel. To configure the default Windows sounds, please refer to the Setting Windows' Sounds tutorial. To setup or configure Windows Sounds (located in the Windows Control Panel), click the Windows Start button and go to Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices. The New Email Notification sound is a particular case of event-triggered sounds in Windows. Most email programs use their own settings for email sounds, but Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express will use the Windows New Email Notification sound. The Sound and Audio Devices Properties window will open, with the Volume tab selected by default. Click the Sounds tab to configure Windows' New Mail Notification Sound. Scroll down until you see the New Mail Notification Sound item. If a speaker icon is displayed on its left, the new mail sound is already configured (as shown below).
