What's Different?

I logged into chat from my home PC this week (via AOL) and had no sound ... logged in another time with a different machine and had sound. Don't think there was a difference before based on the log-in method, did anything change?

Is there an option somewhere I can access to turn sound back on?

Thanks.

Might be the version of Java you are running.

Did you by any chance run the new Windows service pack update?

Only the Sun java version will support sound, the Microsoft one doesn't.

There are clicks when posts are entered and a different sound when someone sends you a private message within chat; also sounds when someone enters/exits the session.

As far as I can tell, the sound feature is always enabled. If you're getting sound on one machine, but not the other, that would indicate something to do with your particular operating system and Java package.
