Hi, first off, I have addressed all these issues with our local IT. Noone can explain the sound. Pigeon is quite limited with the options to select sound and everything that is reasonable is selected.
The sound I chose is tada and yes, it plays fine in the preview mode. Ironically, right now the sound is working. So maybe when I re-installed this morning it finally took. Im not holding my breath though as yesterday it was working then would go silent for no reason in middle of conversation. Ill just accept this as a gift and let it be. Can you as Pigeon experts ...explain why the sound would disappear even though all the selections are checked, preview plays fine etc. If it is not our Beehive server what causes this? I sent a message corporate wide to see if anyone else has experienced this and only one person replied back their sound was working. Everyone else said their sounds do not work or is sporadic. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Atallah [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2010 11:16 AM To: Karen Luce Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Can someone from Pigeon respond?

There is a setting in the conversation preferences for the minimum input area height. A few users have reported issues with that setting not working correctly, apparently this happens with some fonts. It is possible that is what you're seeing. > Also, is the sound instability due to our network servers in Beehive?

That isn't likely, but in most cases you should be seeking support from your internal IT before coming here. > I do have the settings correct for sound. I do not have mute selected.

What is the sound you've chosen? Does it play when you push the "Preview" button? -D _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
