[Dx4win] No sound from DX4WIN

It's my turn to ask for help:

I have a strange problem.  I don't get any sounds from needed spots.  Yes, the
colored ones (am I allowed to say that?).

I have DX4WIN on two computers.  Both run WinXP Pro.  The ham computer is a
PIII (933 MHz and the home office computer is a P4 (3.0 GHz).  The home office
has an Audigy 2 ZS soundcard and I get the alert sounds just fine.

The computer downstairs had a SB Live which NEVER output any alert sounds.  I
got all the normal Windows sounds, though.  The "Packet 1" settings are the
same on both boxes.

I gave up and replaced the SBLive with a Turtle Beach dedicated to RTTY/PSK. 
Since I have never connected a speaker to it, I don't know if the alert sounds
worked or not.

This morning I installed another Audigy 2 ZS in the ham computer (as a second
sound card).  Windows is using this card for its system sounds (yeah!).  But
again, no alert sounds from DX4WIN.

Anyone know what might be going on?

Thanks - Jim
