No Sound in Quicken Program

[ELMER TAMAYO]

Sounds from Quicken normally worked ahead of obtaining new Dell XPS
8100, with W7. Qucken can not find out why when I open this plan NO
SOUNDS. DELL won''t inform me unless I spend them to repair. I've
RealTek with an "on board" sound process. Inside the Manage Panel,
the Quicken sounds are there, when I brouse, visit the sounds, and hit
"play", the dialog wave box opens plus the sound plays, Back to
manage panel, absolutely nothing! When I insert a sound from the
Quicken sounds inside the drop down box, and hit "test"...absolutely
nothing. This can be pretty frustrating. All sounds operate outside
this plan, CDs, DVDS, Itunes, and so on. Is this a RealTek trouble?
How do I repair it? Windows 7 appears to become the issue, for the
reason that WXP...no trouble with Quicken sounds.


Thanks

Make sure that the Theme you have chosen (right-click on desktop, select
"Personalize") has the Quicken sounds set up in it. I have had
experience with changing my Theme and the Quicken sounds not being set
up in that particular Theme.

In Quicken, go to Edit>Preferences>Setup. Is "Turn On Quicken Sounds"
checked?

I used to get this once in a while years ago with Quicken 2000 through
2002 - never did understand what triggered it. Memory is sketchy about
exact steps, but principle is right…

It's because the registry settings for the sounds were copied into
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or similar, to act as defaults. They also need to be
present in HKEY_LOCAL_USER. I'm not on a Windows box now or I'd look,
but fixing it without unstinalling/reinstalling depends on how
comfortable you are using tools like RegEdit. You need to find the
sound setting in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and make sure they're mirrored in
HKEY_LOCAL_USER.

Or similar names. As I say, I don't really run Windows any more so I
don't hit this and my memory is a bit vague on exact names. You'd
recognise it if you looked in RegEdit though.


Cheers,
Ian

Hi, Ian.

It's not clear if that Registry fix applies to Elmer's situation. As you
said, it first appeared for Win2K, as I recall, and was updated for just
about every Windows upgrade since then.

But, just in case, I'll post it as a new thread: QSounds Reg file updated
for Win8.

I found the instructions for turning on the sound for Quicken 2K location says <preference> instead of <options>. Use <edit><options><Quickens program><General>
