Even when you mute your computer, Outlook sounds will still play. Annoying, huh? Here's how you can turn them off. You have to turn off two different settings - to play a sound when email arrives and to play reminder sounds.
- In Outlook, go to the Tools menu and select Options.
- On the Preferences tab, click E-mail Options.
- Click Advanced E-mail Options.
- Uncheck Play a sound.
- Click OK twice.
- Back on the main Options screen, switch to the Other tab.
- Click Advanced Options.
- Click Reminder Options.
- Uncheck Play reminder sound.
- Click *OK*3 times to close all windows.
