No sounds in excel 2003

[Al]

All of a sudden I don't hear any sounds with excel. When I go to control
panel and sounds I can click on the test button for all the normal sounds,
critical stop, default beep, etc. and I can hear them but those same sounds
for alerts in excel I get nothing. All other sounds work, like with games
and such. It seems to be isolated to excel and maybe other office suite
programs but I use excel alot and that's where I first noticed it.
any suggestions?

Tools|Options|General tab
make sure "Provide Feedback with Sound"
is checked.

If that doesn't work, I'd uninstall and reinstall the sounds.exe stuff.
