    I have the sounds for sending and receiving messages in IM sessions enabled. The sound for received messages only plays in the AIM protocol, not in MSN. I never hear a sound for any messages I send even though the sound works in the preview.

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2 and Pidgin 2.5.8.

      For all MSN conversations? Or just for conversations with some MSN buddies? Is Options->Enable Sounds turned on in the conversation window(s) in which the sounds don't work?

      Sent IM sounds don't work even in conversation windows where received IM sounds do work?

      So far, sound doesn't work in any MSN chat windows, either sent or received . Sound is enabled in chat windows.

      That is correct.

      OK scratch what I wrote for MSN. The received sound is now playing when a message is received, but the sent sound still does not play when I send a message.

        For conversations in which you hear incoming message sounds you don't hear outgoing message sounds? You've double-checked that you have an outoing sound set, the event turned on, and that you can hear it if you test it in the preferences dialog? What plugins do you have loaded?

      Yes. Sound is enabled in chat windows and is enabled in the program preferences. It sounds if I click on Preview.

      Plugins: Iconify On Away, Off the Record Messaging, Release Notification, Send Button

        How are you sending your messages? Are you always using the Send button? Does the sound fire if you send other ways (hit enter, right-click -> Send, Send button, etc.)?

        Also, I'm assuming your "Yes." was an answer to my question about the Sent sound not playing even in conversation windows where the Received sound played?

      You are correct; my yes was in answer to the question about sound not being played even when the received sound is played.

      It doesn't play, either when I hit Enter to send the message or click the Send button.
