"Play Sound" in message filters no longer working

Thunderbird Customization

I used to be able to set message filters to play a sound of my choosing after a message was filtered into a folder (a chime so i know when mail from a client arrives). For a while it was not an option, so I used various extensions that eventually were no longer supported (ToneQuilla, Mailbox Alert, FiltaQuilla, Soundmail). I suspect that the last one may have corrupted my Thunderbird and caused my recent issues, so I removed it (and now I have no extensions installed). Sound Mail is the only extension I can find that plays a sound for filtered mail only.

Meanwhile, the "Play Sound" option has appeared again in v155.0.1, but with no choice of sound file, and nothing plays. It's not a sound issue; other sounds play in other programs, and the normal new mail sound plays when I enable it (but I don't want sound notifications for all mail, just client mail).

Any solutions?
