As far as I know sounds are not supported in the browsers with the exception of imbedding windows media player (IE), RealPlayer (NS,IE,Mozilla?), Flash(NS,IE,Mozilla?) or perhaps a java applet that can load a sound playable by the applet in .au format. I could be wrong on some of this as it's not something I have looked into ver deeply. I do believe that such a use would be bulky, to say the least.
You could change the PM flasher that is used in the send_header function to open a popup window instead. This would be a simple task.
In your ubbt.inc.php file replace this:
if (($Privates) && (!$bypass)) {
$privateslink = "<a href="{$config['phpurl']}/viewmessages.php?Cat=$Cat&box=received" target="_top"><img src= "{$config['images']}/newpm.gif" border="0" alt="{$ubbt_lang['WEL_PRIV2']} $Privates {$ubbt_lang['WEL_PRIV3']}" /></a>";
}
with this:
if (($Privates) && (!$bypass)) {
$privateslink = "<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.open('{$config['phpurl']}/viewmessages.php?Cat=$Cat&box=recieved','shoutboxpal','width=200,height=200,top=100,left=150,screenX=1,screenY=1,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
</script>";
}
I haven't tested this but it should give you an idea of what to do.
