thank you so much ! it's perfect !

just a hint for those that are looking for sounds, there was a hack released for 3.0.x that did this exact thing and had 10 small wav files that did it. :D I don't remember which one but a quick search will show it and you can grab those 10 wav files quickly. Fantastic though that someone brought it to 3.5.

Amy I'm one of those lurker types but I have to say you're fantastic :D

Thanks I installed it and used a sound file for Meg Ryan from the movie you've got mail.

Has anyone installed this on 3.5 gold?

Yes.

Is this going to play just one time or every time a page is refreshed...?

I don't want to bother users and for it to get anoying...

Mine plays whenever I refresh the page or go to a new page if I haven't checked the PM. But I did set it so that users have the option to turn it off.

Its nice to be able to turn it off but I think I will pass on installing this. Hope someone or the author of this figures out a way to get it to play just when a new PM for the user is in their box.

ok Guess Im dumb? I followe the instructions and nothign happens

I went into my style, and opened my navbar template (navbar breadcrumb section)
and added this

<!--- New Mail Wav -->
<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo[pmunread]>0">
<script>
function EvalSound(soundobj) {
var thissound=document.getElementById(soundobj);
thissound.Play();
}
</script>

<embed src="/forums/message.wav" autostart=true hidden=true id="sound1"
enablejavascript="true">
</if>

I than copied my message.wav file to my websites root and forum directory and It doesnt do anything for me..

Im using VB 3.5 Gold..

Any help!?

I also sent myself a number of new emails for testing..

It's not for emails. It's for private messages. Also, if you are testing it with private messages, what browser are you using?
