I'm having a problem on version 2.5.4. I have it running on Widows XP and also Ubuntu Intrepid ver. 8.10. I have the same problem on both systems. I installed Pidgin. The Default Sounds worked OK at first. I attempted to change the sounds for Buddy Logs In, Buddy Logs Out, Message Sent and Message Received. I attempted to change them to the same sounds used by AOL IM, since I used that application for years before switching to Pidgin.
After I changed the sounds they work fine in Preview, but not when a buddy logs on or off or a message is sent or received. I tried to restore the sounds to Default but still the same result. Preview works but the actual event doesn't. When I send a message the Enable Sounds is checked in the Options Menu of the Conversation Window. On my Windows system the sounds work OK on 2 user accounts that the sounds were never changed from Default. On Ubuntu it seems that changing one account bolixxed both. On the Windows system I uninstalled the application and reinstalled it but no help. Uninstalling it must not remove an .ini file or something because as soon as I reinstalled it and started Pidgin it came up and knew about the accounts I had on it before I removed it. I've checked and Mute Sounds is not checked and Enable Sounds is set to Always. Any help would be much appreciated. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
