HELLO EVERYONE! My email notification sound is BACK. I did not do anything. It just happened today when I logged in. I am using web outlook and chrome browser. I honestly did not make any changes with my settings. So, I guess, Microsoft has already fixed this. Please check yours

Hello!

I started experiencing this just today. I have been using outlook web for almost two years now and it just happened today. I have turned on all notif as well as in my Google chrome browser, and my pc. All notif has been turned on.

I have also refreshed the settings by turning it off and on, restarted my pc twice today, nothing works.

I have signed in to another outlook account which I also owned for work, and it is doing just fine. Notif sound is working. But in my main email, the email I am using in posting this, is not working at all. Please help. I need the notif sound so I could action all email requests at work on time.

    I have multiple users running into this issue as well.

    It appears to be intermittent; one user began having issues last Friday and is no longer having issues.

    Some users are still having issues while others have not had any issues at all.

    All other sounds/notifications work; is there a workaround to get the sound notification on incoming emails going? I am restricted by employer on using OWA or PWA.

    This is exactly the super annoying workaround that I'm dealing with now. It works well enough, but is absolutely not at all a long-term fix. Hoping someone gets back to us soon!
