Sound event for Mail notification in OE

I have the settings set to notify me of any new messages with a sound and
my sound card is working properly but when I receive new messages i dont hear
the sound. Any help would be appreciated

Have you checked the sound preview in Control Panel | Sounds and Audio
Devices | Sounds, to make sure one is selected for New Mail Notification and
is working there? OE must also be open to hear the sound.

Yes all this has been checked and verified and OE is open but still no sound.

You may have a damaged identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create
a new one and test it. If all is well, you can import your messages from the
old identity and delete it.
