No notification sounds for direct messages

A few people are reprting over on the VSR discord that incoming direct messages are no longer producing an audible warning. This is a potential issue for VR users whan a controller makes contact via a DM. 

Has anyone else had this issue recently?

thanks

What do you have set up as your default audio device, as in the one selected in your Windows system tray?  That's the device that vPilot should be sending notification sounds to.

Thanks, numerous people had the issue so it wasn’t a windows config issues. Turns out it is by design, an incoming direct message plays a wav  file with three beeps which can be heard in VR, however follow up messages play a different quieter wav file. Copy across the louder file works. We are looking to having louder files for VR.

You can edit or replace the .wav files in the Sounds folder within the install directory.
