First solution is to use another output module, another one is to disable hardware acceleration.
For information I have a soundblaster live.I answer to myself, it seems that it is winamp which cause the problem, it seems to work correctly if the music is not playing (but as I always have the music it never works).
To be more precise it is the directsound output module which cause trouble. As not every one as the problem but many may use this output module, it may be caused by the soundcard driver… it won’t be easy to fix :sI have the same problem. As Alanyork said the linked topic is not relevant because it deals with MSN Messenger 7.5 and the problem of missing sounds is with Windows Live Messenger (8.0.0792 is the one I use). In fact I have the same problem in the configuration window, when I select the contact signin alert and I hit on the play button 10 times, it only plays 1 time. For new messages on 10 tries it plays 3 times. It is the same when the alert should be emitted, for example when I receive a new instant message, it plays the alert sound sometimes but not always, which is very annoying.
I would precise that I never installed a beta version of WLM nor MSN Messenger and I did not uninstall WLM except to reinstall it to try make the alert sounds always work.
