MsgBox sound problem in Windows 10

[Srecko]

Hi,

I have a problem with MsgBox sounds.

No sound is heard when a message appears regardless of which flag I use.

I just installed the latest version of autoit and SciTE, but the problem still exists.

Srecko,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

There is nothing in the AutoIt function to affect/change the sound - have you checked your Windows sound settings?

M23,

Yes, I checked everything.

In the volume mixer does not appear autoit.

MsgBox does not affect sound in one way or another. If you want a sound to be played, when you call MsgBox you will have to make a separate sound event.

Oh, but why get i some sound testing this example:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $iTimeout = 10

; Display a message box with a nested variable in its text.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL + $MB_ICONWARNING, "Title", "This message box will timeout after " & $iTimeout & " seconds or select the OK button.", $iTimeout)

That is because you are calling $MB_ICONWARNING.  Flag 48 produces a warning icon and plays the sound.  Also take note that flag 16 and 64 also plays a sound.  The other flags do not but you can combine the flags to produce the sound.  See examples below.

; Script Start - Add your code below here
MsgBox(65,"","Hello World!") ; Flag 1 (Ok and Cancel) + 64 (Information icon)
MsgBox(20,"","Hello World!") ; Flag 4 (Yes and No) + 16(stop icon)

I apologize, but I am not sure I understand what is being asked here.  Please clarify your question or statement.

I apologize to everyone, it's not a problem in the autoit.
The problem is in my operating system.
I tested on multiple computers and worked on everyone.

Then let us know, which system and build version. And can you confirm, that other winapps have same problem with MsgBox?
