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.

I am the one who started the thing about the clanger <smile>. And, the only reason I thought of it that way was due to the disturbance it causes when it goes off early in the morning before my wife wishes to rise, and it wakes her up. Actually, I really don't mind this sound affect all that much myself, but just wish there was a convenient way to turn it down without having to prepare for it by fiddling with all of my volume controls in order to keep from disturbing the spouse. If there were a way to control the volume through WE, that would help a lot.
