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.

    Hi Everyone,

    I believe I’ve found a possible solution for the notification sound issue. I was able to get notification sounds by enabling the "sync across Microsoft 365" setting. While it might seem unrelated, it worked for me.

    Here are the steps:

    1. Go to settings (gear icon)
    2. Select General
    3. Language and Time
    4. Turn on “sync across Microsoft 365” and reload

    Please test this solution and let me know if it works for you as well.

    Best,

    Hey, this worked for me as well! Nice find.

    Same issue Aug. 24, 2024. This is in Edge, for me. Settings look correct and the sound works with other notifcations. I've noticed the sound disappear in the past, then reappear, days later. But currently no notification sound when receiving emails in Outlook web.

    Still not fixed as of this morning. I'm wondering when this will get rectified.
