Notification sounds

Anonymous

I'm using Windows 10 and Windows 11 on my computers and I use notification sounds because I'm often using a full screen obscuring three tabs I also have open.

I have the same notification sounds on my Win 11 computer as on my Win 10 laptop.

The laptop sound when an email arrives is perfect on the laptop but on the Win11 desktop there's a tone before half of the notification sound. Very occasionally if an email has just arrived and another comes shortly after the notification sound is perfect but sometimes when the second arrives there's no sound at all.

I've tried all sorts of alterations to the sounds settings but can't "fix" it.

Has anyone got any ideas please?

I've picked "settings" but would "Desktop, start and personalization" be more appropriate?

I've got to nip off for an hour, BBL.

I'm looking at Focus assist in the settings and in the top panel the first thing is "off" the others are blank.

Below in "Automatic rules", of the five, the first one is "Off", the others are "On".

Click that button until it says Off. It should have 3 choices.

Yes, I get the pop-up for a new mail as well as the sound I described in my OP. (The pop-up has "Microsoft Edge" on it.)
