    Hi there, the sounds on the web page do not work in either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. We recommend contacting your web page administrator, in order to check the web site compatibility with all browsers, or the scripts associated with the auto-play sounds.

  3. No Welcome Sounds / You've got Mail in Desktop Gold

    Sounds are disabled and not playing from the AOL Desktop Software. Currently have the updated version. Troubleshoot with AOL Tech Team and still the same problem.
