Re: Can I turn off the clanger in Outlook
Another thing iI have found is that if you use headphones, some of the electronic sounds didn't always go through the headphones along with the speech. So people would be able to hear it even if you used headphones.

Re: Can I turn off the clanger in Outlook
My email sound is the default one, and it is quiet. But the download sounds are louder.

RE: Can I turn off the clanger in Outlook
Steve's instructions below are good. If they don't work for you, as at first they didn't work for me, then you will have to uninstall the Outlook Enhance app in the Win-Eyes Control Panel and reinstall it. With Outlook running, do ctrl-backslash. Once in the tree view, tap the alt key, then right-arrow once and then go up and down the list to find the Outlook Enhance app. Hit enter and explore your choice. When you find the one that has the word sound in it, hit enter on it, and Don't forget to save before leaving the Win-eyes control panel.

Re: Can I turn off the clanger in Outlook
Well, I do know it's possible to assign a different sound to stuff in windows, so what you might do is just assign a different, quieter sound to it. That way, you can still tell when mail comes in, but it won't disturb anyone. Just a thought, not sure if you have another sound you can use, but i know the default mail soundin windows 7 seems like it'd be ok.

At times you can really hear the sound from the front room being funneled quite well, yet I can control the SR volume quite well, but not so much the clanger smile. Hey now, we can stop calling it the clanger if we want too. I'm over it now. But I do think it would be a good idea to have an option for controlling the volume of WE's sounds.

Well in windows 8 it is the same sound. I always thought of it as an alert sound. Yes like a dor bell.
