  1. Is there a way to tell which program triggered an alert sound?


    I am getting alert sounds occasionally that I cannot identify the source of. Is there a way to see what program triggered the sound? There is no corresponding Notification Area message.


    I am on Win 10 20H2 but this was true on previous builds also.

  2. text message alert sounds?

    Hi,

    To assist you better please provide us more information.


    • What is the make and model of the phone?

    • When you say ‘’cannot find how to set text message alert sounds’’ are you referring to setup a particular sound/alert for the message or there is no sound alert at all when you received the message?
    I also like to inform you that, you cannot setup a different alert sound except the inbuilt sound alert. If you refer to setting up your choice sound alert, I suggest you to provide your valuable suggestion and feedback using feedback app.

    Thank you. If you need further assistance on Windows let us know we will be glad to help you.

  3. Loss of alert sounds

    We'd like to ask for additional information:

    • Is the alert sounds is included in your taskbar before?
    • What's the error when you tried to run the troubleshooter?
    • Have you tried to check the alert sound in the start menu?
    Meanwhile, kindly uninstall and reinstall the app and let's see if the alert sounds will reinstalled together with the application.

    Is there a way to tell which program triggered an alert sound?

    sound but no video?WTF

    Can you tell us what you're doing? Step by step? What program are you using? Like I say, if you're using VLC, any codecs you install won't help you at all since VLC doesn't actually look outside of its own libraries.

    Just list the steps that you're taking.
