I have enabled Sounds and I have set Beep on Query Message but I'm not getting any beeps when people message me on a open query box when it is not the active window. I have also right clicked on the Switchbar and set the specific persons query to beeping but it's still not working. The only way I can get it to work is if I set to Use Internal Speaker, but then the sound is just a little ping... Anyone? I have no other sound issues. In fact when people first query me I do hear a sound it's just a problem when the query is already open and it's not an active window.

I have: Code: [X] Enable sounds [Combo box for other events]^] [ ] Channel Beeps: [5 ] [X] Query Delay: [100] [ ] Message while in buffer [X] Use internal beep [ ] Use PC speaker

When it's set to internal beep I get a tin sounding beep from the internal speaker from my computer if I set it to use pc speaker I get no sound, if I have neither checked I get no sound. I have seen a couple different posts with people having problems with Event Beep on Windows XP. I'm running XP as well.

Well after searching through all the messages on here I was able to find a script someone made to make specific beeps for specific channels/queries and the like.

I don't know who made it but it's working exactly the way I need it if I have MIRC minumized I hear my sound for the specific person and if I have the channel up I don't hear it.

Here it is for anyone else that runs into this issue.

Code:

 
; Data management - Read/Write/Delete
;
alias CustomBeep {
  if ($isid) return $readini(MyBeepSettings.ini,CustomBeeps,$1)
  elseif ($1 == -r) remini MyBeepSettings.ini CustomBeeps $2
  else writeini MyBeepSettings.ini CustomBeeps $1 $+(",$$sfile($wavedir*.wav,Load custom beep,New Beep),")
}
; User Interface - Dynamic Popups
;
menu channel {
  -
  .$iif($CustomBeep($chan),Change,Add) Beep: CustomBeep $chan
  .$iif($CustomBeep($chan),Remove Beep): CustomBeep -r $chan
}
menu query,nicklist,menubar {
  -
  .$iif($CustomBeep($1),Change,Add) Beep: CustomBeep $1
  .$iif($CustomBeep($1),Remove Beep): CustomBeep -r $1
}
; Script Engine
;
on *:TEXT:*:?: CBeep $nick
on *:TEXT:*:#: CBeep $chan
;
; Provide a way to continue the currently splaying MP3 (if there is one)
;
; NOTE: This section could interfere with any other MP3 players
; that use mIRC to /splay a random or playlist MP3.
;
alias CBeep {
  if ((!$CustomBeep($1)) || ($active == $1)) return
  if (($right($insong.fname,4) == .mp3) &amp;&amp; (!%InSong.FName)) {
    set -u600 %InSong.FName = $+(",$insong.fname,")
    set -u600 %InSong.Pos = $insong.pos
    .splay -p stop
  }
  .splay $CustomBeep($1)
}
on *:MIDIEND: Continue.MP3
on *:WAVEEND: Continue.MP3
on *:MP3END: Continue.MP3
alias Continue.MP3 {
  if (!%InSong.FName) return
  .splay %InSong.FName
  .splay seek %InSong.Pos
  unset %InSong.*

Is there something I can change/add to make it still beep even if it's the active window BUT only if MIRC is minumized?
