I have had the same problem with the Window-eyes sounds not working for quite a while. I'm now running Windows 8, but it started with Windows 7. The problem seems to be in the Windows Default sound scheme which is loaded by default when the PC is booted. You can assign the appropriate wave files to the GW events such as browse mode off, browse mode on, etc. However, once you make a change to the default sound scheme it automatically renames it and appends the word (modified).

Once the PC is shut down or rebooted the next time you start it up again, it will always revert back to the default system sound scheme which is not the one that has the GW sound events associated. You would have to manually change it back to the modified version for it to work each time.

Now that's interesting.  You're not by any chance running Windows 8, are you?  
I have had the same thing happen on my Dell Latitude E6530; I put in a sound 
scheme with sounds for almost every system event (most of them are of a Windows 
98 nature), it worked for quite a while and now my sounds haven't loaded for 
weeks.  This includes Window-Eyes sounds; I've not touched anything to make 
them stop loading to my knowledge.

Subject: question about sounds

Hi Gang,

For some reason I lost a lot of my sounds, like log off, hardware connect and 
disconnect and also the sound ig get when clicking on an edit box.  I did go 
into sounds  and got some of them back but didn't find the sound for entering 
or exiting an edit box which sounded kind of like a tongue click.  Is that a 
windoweyes sound and where might I find it.
Thanks.
