I don't see it in general settings. I have choose show chat or no, select room and settings choose room, but no setting about sound.

[RK KINGKONG]

top right hit settings / then to the left go to MY ACCOUNT / general settings and make sure Disable sound notifications : it should say no so you can hear it ...ALSO in the admin cp for it , make sure that in MGC Chatbox Evo : Advanced options you have selected yes to the following / Sound notification upon new messages
If new messages are available after refresh, a sound is played to notify the user / make sure that says YES
