@User377189 I had this issue with Parallels. I eventually figured out it was a file access permission issue.

My setup: Parallels running Windows ARM. I initially ran Sierra Chart on this VM from a Mac folder.

Now, the only alert sound that was playing in SC was the windows error sound (a soft ding). Despite the alert being configured properly in SC and playing properly inside Windows using Media Player, SC kept playing only the error sound.

After combing through the forums, I saw that SC uses the Windows API to play sounds. I loaded up Python and tried to play my alert sounds through the Windows API as well and got the same result (only the error sound). I figured it was an access issue and copied SC to the local C: drive in the VM. Alerts started working.
