Sound problem

[Beginner]

The sound in my chat does not work.
I use 0.8.8 with phpBB 3.2, everything works, only the sound does not work.
I found some instructions here but they do not help me. I need a tutorial in which file I have to remove which code and what new code I need to insert.

Unfortunately, I have no background knowledge and I am dependent on detailed instructions.

Sorry for my bad english.

This chat system is not for the faint of heart.  There is no official support at this time and it is something that you will have to tinker with.  With all of this said, make sure that you have mp3 versions of the sounds available.  These are the changes I found from the default code downloaded and what I have running.  This currently works for me.  If there are other changes that you've done since the default, that I can't help with as I don't know what you may or may not have done.

So, here's the basic changes in a patch format version ( negative sign means remove and plus sign means add)

Thanks, it works!
