Cannot play a sound for new mail receipt in Thunderbird 38.5 running under Puppy Linux 6.3 32 Bit
I have posted the following link in the Puppy Linux forum - http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=102120 I have not yet received a response which resolves my issue. I am running Puppy Linux 6.3 32 bit. I downloaded and installed the ToneQuilla 1.1.1 extension-it did not solve the problem. I downloaded the ALSA firmware file and unzipped it to /Downloads/alsa-firmware-1.0.29. I am a Puppy Linux novice and do not know how to configure this software beyond this point. Any help anyone could provide to wake up this feature would be greatly appreciated.

Do your chosen alert sound files pay correctly in your regular media player?
I think Thunderbird can be a bit fussy about audio file format.
Thank you for your inquiry. I have selected a .wav file from my Open Office installation-/opt/openoffice4/share/gallery/sounds/apert.wav. When I use Puppy Linux's file finder app to locate it I can double click it to play it. I would attach it to this message but this application only supports the attachment of image files-how strange is that?? The struggle continues... As an aside-this is yet another reason why Linux has not yet reached the mainstream
