Do you have a custom sound you can copy into your user library/sounds folder? If so, I would try using that one just to see if that works. Take Care John D.

Re: [Bulk] [Bulk] [Bulk] still no new message sound in Mail
Hi, John its Katie. I tried using the glass sound effect when I checked for new mail 2 days ago, and nothing happened. Then I went back to the new mail sound and when I check for new messages, I still don’t hear anything. I’m having no luck at this. In mail preferences in the general tab, I have the checkbox checked for play sounds for other mail actions. In the notification center, I have alerts and sounds checked for the mail app. The notification center is something new I haven’t seen on my Mac before since I upgraded from Snow Leopard. I’m not sure why this isn’t working. Do you have any other ideas? Should I have someone at the Apple store look at my Mac again? Thanks.
