Sound Effects Not working Correctly in Mail 6.0 or Notification Center...

I recently installed Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro (2012 Retina Screen, 2.7 GHz Core i7, 16 GB RAM) and all the sound effects are no longer working in the new version of Mail 6.0. There are also Sound Effect problems with the Notification Center. 
I double checked and all my settings appear to be correct in Mail and in the Sounds & Notification Center Pref Panes.  I also did a PRAM reset to see if that would fix it, and that made no difference either.  In Mail, only some sounds are working. I still get the swoosh sound when mail is sent but not any of the other sounds like when email is deleted or received.  Also, my speakers are working fine for audio etc.
I called Apple Care and the technician had me on the phone for a while and researched this, but said he could find nothing that was known or had been reported on this issue. As an FYI, to the best of my knowledge I'm not running any incompatible apps.  Every app I am running is listed as being compatible with ML.
Has anyone else had this issue with the Mail and Notification Center Sound Effects?  I would appreciate any solutions or suggestions.
Thanks...
Patrick

Patrick,
I have experienced the same symptoms.
Opening Audio MIDI Setup, and changing the Built-in Output>Format to another choice (2ch-20bit Integer) and then back to the prvious setting (2ch-24bit Integer) briefly fixes the lack of Mail sounds, but unfortunately the problem eventually returns after computer sleep.
I have tried a Safe Boot, and removed the Audio MIDI plist without success.

  • Sound blaster not working correctly?

    Sound blaster not working correctly #I have a 64 bit, windows vista system.
    A Logitech Z-5500 Digital speaker system (one woofer, center speaker, left, right, rear right, left rear speakers, and a seperate control head).
    I have an X-fi gamer sound card.
    I recently formatted my hard dri've and reinstalled everything. Trying to make everything happy again. Here is my problem:
    When I use the Creative Console Launcher (CCL), my front right speaker tests fine. My front left speaker comes out of the woofer. And no other speakers will test at all. It does this in all modes (2., 4., 5. and 7.).
    When I play some music, it is coming out of all of the speakers. But it won't test properly in the CCL. So, do I have an issue, does what the CCL is doing not matter, or something else In some games, hearing what direction stuff is coming from matters, so if it is sending sounds to the wrong speakers, then I need to figure out a fix.....hence my post.
    Thanks for any help you can give, Robert

    Well, as the official documatation states, the Archlinux is for more or less advanced users, and if you're not one, we will make you one
    First of all, if you compiled your sound as modules, try putting this in your rc.local:
    stat_busy "Activating Sound"
    /sbin/modprobe your_sound_module
    /sbin/modprobe other_sound_module
    /sbin/modprobe yet_other_sound_module
    stat_done
    Change your_sound_module stuff to your module names as you configured in the kernel, of course.
    Second: in order to have two or more sound apps working at the same time, you need some kind of sound server. For default one (esd), uncomment esd in /etc/rc.local (remove ! before it) . After that, you'll have to configure your sound apps to use esd. I know that this is extremely easy with xmms and xine, dunno about others. I do not use esd, because my favorite games (quake3 and half-life) require direct access to /dev/dsp.

  • Sound effects not working

    Suddenly my iPad 3 with Retina display isn't playing sound effects in many apps. Music and videos playback audio fine. Sound effects in the Settings app work fine.
    I can change the sound effect for sending Mail through the Settings app and hear what it should sound like, but when I send mail through the Mail app, I hear nothing. Some 3rd party apps sound fine, while others are now missing sound effects.

    Hi atennant2,
    This might be caused by account settings.
    If you have multiple accounts on your Mac sometimes when you do a fast
    userswitch settings of the previous account don't update. If the previous user
    had the volume muted in his settings, the account switch might not reset
    this to the settings you set in your account. Now an os update or big server
    maintenance, account cleaning session can cause these issues as well.
    Try to log in to the account you used previously, make sure that sound
    settings are ok, When sound is working now it's ok for your other account.
    Hope it works,
    JP
    (if not: check in system profile wether there are Garageband folders (2) marked as "Classic", delete them.
    Enable speech in the system preferences, restart)

  • Sound effects not working after upgrade

    After upgrading to Yosemite, my system sound effects are no longer working. Instead of hearing my selected Basso sound, my entire screen flashes.  Other sounds, such as the audio track of a video, still work fine. If I use the "afplay" command I can hear a system sound. I also get sounds for incoming and outgoing mail.  But clicking one of the system alert sounds in the "Sounds" preference pane does nothing audible, and in other places where I used to get a Basso sound,  my screen flashes instead.  I'm aware of the Accessibility option that gives the screen flash in lieu of an audible alert, but that is turned off, and I have tried turning it on and back off again, to no avail.  My "Alert volume" is all the way up in the "Sounds" preference pane, and I've slid that back and forth too.
    Can anyone suggest a way to reset whatever got confused in the upgrade, and get my alert sounds back?
    I'm on a 13" mid-2009 MacBook Pro, if that matters.
    Thanks!

    I had same exact problem - Reset PRAM and not works fine. I followed instructions here, and step 5 fixed it: http://www.iphonetopics.com/no-sound-after-upgrading-to-os-x-yosemite/

  • Clip name effect not working correctly in 2014/2014.1

    I'm referring to these notes from the latest bug fixes here...
    Bugs fixed in Premiere Pro 2014.1 Release | Premiere Pro work area
    "Clip name effect doesn’t work correctly if Source Track is set to a different track."
    "The Clip Name effect does not work when applied to a transparent video track item, with Source Track set to a video clip."
    I've just updated Premiere (2014.1) to specifically fix these two bugs. The Clip name effect isn't using the correct file names. It uses something close but not quite e.g. clip 100 shows as 100B which is down the timeline.
    The effect is applied to a transparent layer (have also tried it in a black video layer) and the clip name drawn from a different video track (video/PNGs in track 1, transparent video and effect is in track 3). This problem only appears when videos are in the timeline. When used with stills (PNGs) it works fine.
    Any idea of a fix or workaround that isn't using some kind of titling filter? I'm looking to automate the shot naming process for a pipeline in creating animation animatics and this would be perfect. If to actually worked properly.
    Using Premiere on a Mac Book Pro with 10.9.5.

    Anyone from Adobe care to offer some insight as it's something that is reportedly fixed?

  • Sound Effects Not Working, HELP!!

    Hey my sound EFX are no longer working. My sound works though. but when I send something to the trash there's no noise, nor when I empty it. Same when I delete a track in iTunes, or get an iChat IM, there's no effect noise. What can I do? I tried restarting a few times. Thanks

    I am having the same problem with an intel imac and all the settings are correct but no sound effects. All other sound is fine. Only happened after the last security update ???

  • Sound effects not working with SoundSticks after upgrade to 10.4.4

    After upgrading to 10.4.4, the sound effects of OS X, such as emptying trash, iChat effects, etc, doesn't come out from the SoundSticks (first generation, connected via USB), even though I've turned it (effects) to the highest level, and selected to have it come out of the SoundSticks.
    The effects are fine if I select Built-in Audio as sound output.

    The names are updated to the following (although the documentation doesn't reflect this):
    addDataSourceConnectionPool == createJDBCConnectionPool
    addManagedDataSource == createManagedDataSource
    addNativeDataSource == createNativeDataSource
    testDataSourceConnectionPool == testConnectionPool
    Hope it helps ...
    Cheers!

  • Sound is not working correctly

    I sound works after using the answers posted in these forums but I have a few additional questions.  When I type dmesg it lists:
    Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.21, 00:03:43 Feb  1 2003
    PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:02.7
    i810: SiS 7012 found at IO 0xd800 and 0xdc00, IRQ 11
    i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 2 channels.
    ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: ALC38(Unknown)
    i810_audio: only 48Khz playback available.
    i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 supports AMAP, total channels = 2
    This doesn't seem very good.. XMMS works perfectly but sound things I've tried have returned errors saying that 44khz playback is not availble.  Do I need to do something more to get the full use of my sound card? 
    Would configuring Esound and/or ALSA help?  Can't seem to even find out what the difference is..

    Well, as the official documatation states, the Archlinux is for more or less advanced users, and if you're not one, we will make you one

  • RSS Feeds do not work correctly in Mail.app

    I have already filed a bug report about this problem. I have added RSS Feeds in Mail.app by importing them from Safari. The feeds were added to Mail. There are two problems though:
    * The Feeds do not get updated every 30 minutes, as configured
    * The RSS Folder in Mail disappears after a while! Only restaring Mail solves the issue (temporarily)

    Same here, tried selecting all feeds and ctrl+clicking to "Update All RSS Feeds" as well as "Get New Mail > RSS", neither works.

  • Sound does not work correctly all the time, on youtube.

    So I have been having this issue for a while now, and I have tried everything to fix it on my own.
    My issue is sometimes you-tube videos will play about 1-2 sec of sound then stop, the video will buff all the way out and I can watch it but no sound will come from it. Once it happens if I try to watch another video they will all have no sound, but if i start up itunes it will still play music, so it's not my PC.
    Once I close Firefox and reopen it 80% of the time it will play sound on the same video, the other 20% of times it will play 1-2secoinds of sound again and quit playing sound, if I restart fire fox again it will play just fine. Also I do not seem to get this issue with internet explore.
    Stuff I have done.
    Check for updates for my video/sound cards.
    Uninstalled/installed flash 3 times even downloads the Adobe Flash player uninstaller, then reinstalled flash again.
    Unchecked enable hardware acceleration, in the Adobe Flash setting.
    My setup
    Firefox 3.6.13
    Windows 7 64bit
    ATI HD radeon HD 4350 video card.
    I have my PC connected to my TV, sound/video is carried with a HDMI cable from my video card.

    Did you check the settings for Firefox in the Volume Mixer?

  • Shatter effects not working correctly?

    Hey everyone!
    I have this problem that's been driving me bonkers. I used Shatter on a PNG image, and it doesn't shatter completely. Most of the image shattered like normal, but a few intact pieces were left behind right where they were instead of flying off like the rest.
    Virtual cookies, hugs, and much gratitude to whomever can help me
    Thank you all! :3

    Put shatter in wireframe mode, look at the force field. Did It include all of the layer? What are your physics settings? If pieces are not moving you have to change something about the setup. There are about a zillion combinations of settings for shatter, without seeing which are not at the default setting it is impossible to give you any better idea than I just did.
    If my suggestion did not solve your problem then select the shatter layer and press the U key twice to reveal all changed properties, then send us a screenshot showing the timeline and the comp at the point where you are having problems.
