No Browse Option When "Play Sound" Clicked in Microsoft Chat

This article was previously published under Q165901

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Chat, when you attempt to play a sound by clicking Play Sound or by pressing CTRL+B, you are not given the option to browse the hard disk for a wave file (.wav).

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, you can specify additional folders to search for .wav files when you click Play Sound or press CTRL+B. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Options on the View menu, and then click the Settings tab.
  2. In the Sound Search Path box, specify multiple folders in the search path by separating each folder with a semicolon (;). For example, if you want Microsoft Chat to list .wav files from both the C:\Windows folder and the C:\Windows\Media folder, type the following:
    c:\windows;c:\windows\media

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
