My incoming emails don't make a sound. Apparently I also have to enter the notification into my Firefox browser. Can you help please?

Hey arnold, if that's the case I think you need to enable it via google first. So do the following: Open Gmail. At the top right, click Settings and then See all settings. Scroll to “Desktop notifications.” Click New mail notifications on Then choose the mail notification sound.

Let me know if that worked

Hey there, try the following: - go to the hamburger menu top right ( the three horizontal lines) - click settings - click privacy and security - permissions -autoplay and then when clicking allow audio and video you can add your website

Hi Konstantina, thank you very much for your response. Unfortunately, I don't have time right now to try it out but will let you know how it goes when I do. Thanks again.

Hi again Konstantina, everything seems to go ok until I come to entering the Website (mail.google.com). I try to save the changes but that doesn't seem to want to work. I appear to be very close so any further help would be appreciated.

Hi Konstantina Thanks again, your help is truly appreciated. I did as you mentioned but no luck again. The annoying part is that up until a few days ago the sound was working so I must have done something to lose it. I am unfortunately not the most computer literate person around!

Should you, however, have any other suggestions I will be more than happy to receive them.

This is so weird Do you mind sharing a screenshot of the section on your mail settings so I see what you see? Also I assume you have sound in other websites? Lastly, can you try to right click on your email tab - do you see an unmute button?

You might not believe this but when your email came through it actually played the sound to let me know so hopefully all is well again! (Before I sent my previous email to you I sent one to myself to see if it worked but no luck). Hopefully you fixed it for me but if there are any further problems I will let you know if you don't mind.

That is great news! Sure if you have any other questions let me know and feel free to mark which answer gave you the solution so other users can find a reply in the future. Have a good one :)

Played the sound again! This is the first time I have used this forum so I hope I have marked your answers appropiately!
