Are you sure you configured the chatbox options correctly for sound notifications ?

Yes sir i had it all set up are you using quicken plugin in FF to make the sound sand that plugin isnt supported any more due to some securities i think.

But i am using :

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6
VBulletin 3.7.2

It did work in IE kinda every time you changed channels it was like boing boing boing even if no new chats had been posted.

Another issue is i cant get the smiles button to show
