I've lost my messagebeep!

Hi,

I'm doing a simple API function call and I've suddenly one of my beeps!
The code is standard as follows, but when I call the function, I get
nothing. Both produce nothing:

Call MessageBeep(MB_ICONQUESTION)
Call MessageBeep(&H20&)

But If I use any other constant or hexadecimal, I get the appropriate
beep. Help!

Thanks in advance,
Paolo

I don't check this e-mail, only paolo@NOSPAMcornacchia.net, removing
the NOSPAM.

Public Declare Function MessageBeep _
Lib "user32" (ByVal wType As Long) As Long

Public Const MB_ICONASTERISK As Long = &H40&
Public Const MB_ICONEXCLAMATION As Long = &H30&
Public Const MB_ICONQUESTION As Long = &H20&
Public Const MB_ICONINFORMATION As Long = MB_ICONASTERISK
Public Const MB_ICONHAND As Long = &H10&

Go to Control Panel -> Sounds And Audio Devices and check whether you have
any sound file assigned to "Question" event (it is set to "none" on mine -
maybe it is default value)

Hi Dmitriy,

No I don't. Any other ideas?
