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.

    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.

    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.

    Same here. I started having issues on 8/16/24 and still do not get new email notifications today. This is a huge problem and needs to be fixed asap!
