'Sounds' disabled in the Notifications tab

As far as I know, I don't have sounds cut permanently any where (I don't see that preference any place), but the option is disabled. Now, when I get a call, I know only the answer/ignore the UI appears on my screen. I want to cut _almost_ all the sounds, but not the new call sound.

How can I return this option?

I am running the latest version of Skype.

Thank you.

Finally I got quite annoyed to do a deep dive and solve the problem. Pasted from a response I gave to another question on the same subject...

This has been driving me crazy for a few months now (since upgrading from 2.8.x) and today I finally took the time to track it down. Like everyone else here:

  • No sound is produced by incoming calls
  • In my "Notifications" preferences, the box "Play a sound" was disabled (grayed out)

Here's what I did to solve the problem:

  • Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.skype.skype.plist in your favorite plist Editor. For me, it opened in XCode by default, but it opens up as well in a text editor such as TextWrangler. The plist file is just a text XML file at its base.
  • Find the option called "MuteAllAlertSounds".
  • Change the value of true/yes to false/no. If you are pensionable in XCode, you will change the value 'YES' on 'NO '. If in a text editor, you can change that...
	MuteAllAlertSounds

TO...

	MuteAllAlertSounds
  • Save your changes
  • Restart Skype

Now my 'phone' sounds really and that the checkbox "Play a sound" is disabled is no longer.

I hope this helps someone else.

  • How do disable you the notification of volume in Windows 8?

    Good afternoon everyone,

    I was wondering if someone can tell me how to disable the notification for high volume / warning in Windows 8?
    Let's face it, some media are better than others, and there are moments when something has to turn up to hear it, but whenever I try to turn the volume up past 42 it appears this warning that high volume can cause hearing loss... It's pretty boring, and my age if I had a hearing loss it would already have happened.
    Thank you
    Michael

    I discovered that when I uninstalled my player realtek audio and restarted my computer (I have a samsung laptop) that he gave me sound default Microsoft readers and the problem disappeared. No longer should I put up with this pop - up "Hearing loss" boring.

    I lost these icons and don't know how to get back them.  They are not in this toolbar customization.

    2 ways to recover...

    1 do a system restore. Use a date where the icons were present on the notification as your restore point area.
    Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
    To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

  • "error 31000" in the notifications tab

    I want to start a discussion to see how many people have this rare error and to get an overview on how this is all. Since I got my phone in early January, I had to randomly "code error" (I don't know what else to call it) in my tab notifications from the drop-down list. Where it is supposed to say "US Cellular" in the middle of the screen, it is sometimes replaced by "31000". I don't know what is the cause and whenever I think to take a screenshot, it won't be there. I did find something different wrong with the phone, so I don't think it's to do anything either. I went to customer Service in my hometown and it's only the second time that they had seen that happen (which is quite rare because I live in Tulsa, and they have an abundance of US Cellular customers). They told me it was a very rare software error, do not worry about this, and it will be hopefully be fixed in the next update. I was wondering if the Mods had knowledge of this 'mistake' and if it has been resolved. I also wanted to see if anyone else has had this error. Thank you in advance!

    I saw something very similar. I thought it would be the id of the cell tower that I was connected. An application called net monitor will show you this id

    31000005 is us cell operator id

  • Disable the button new add tab CSS specifications of the trade while displaying the Notification number GTIN message duplicate

    Hi Ron,

    I need to disable the Add button again in the CSS tab on specification of the trade while displaying the Notification number GTIN message duplicate.

    If it does not duplicate notification displayed GTIN message not necessary to disable the Add button again in the CSS tab. Please see the screen shot for more information.

    You said same thing as below mentioned in bold.

    2. you can lock whole sectors, such as the CSS section, you use an extension called SectionLevelEditing. You can read about it in the Guide of extensibility, which will guide you to a more detailed document.

    If you are wanting to keep lock editable, but section towards the bottom/remove the button Add a new one just so you can use the UIe feature Extensions, also documented in the extensibility Guide.

    As suggested, I had crossed the SectionLevelEditing document. but I don't get anything in the document.

    Even my requirement is condition based on the button Add a new on the CSS tab.

    I tried another way

    (1) I got to add new button id with developer tools (ctl01_CtlInitialPublication1_ctlCollapsibleContentContainer_ctl00_btnAddNew)

    (2) what properties should be used by pulling the new id button.

    I am faced with the question. Please let me know some suggestions.

    Thank you

    In the JavaScript code, could you try to filter by some special keywords in your notification of duplicate instead of code GTIN number # .writing C NET.

    In user interface Extensions, it has only allowed to extend the JavaScript code.

    Then follow the instructions from #5 to #9.

    Don't forget to restart the computer to perform the procedures.
