Yes, I have turned system sounds off.  n.b., I did this very early on
in Paul's UniAud project.  Because not having system sounds has not
been a major problem for me, I've not tried to go back to 'ON'...

I attempted to upgrade to 1.9.22, but it kept locking my system.  So I
went back to the last 'relatively' stable levels that still provided
decent sound.

This is not to say that I don't get hangs occasionally.  But, almost
all of the hangs occur when PMMail automatically retrieves a message
from two [or more] accounts at the same time and tries to play an alert
sound for each message.  I've also had lock ups if I am playing a
video/audio and a message comes in.  UniAud just seems to have a
problem with simultaneous audio streams.  Other than this, these files
seem to be OK.

The two files that I currently use:

BTW, I am using ACPI with two CPs and the following specs in
Config.Sys:

>PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /EIS  /ALS
>RUN=O:\OS2\ACPIDAEMON.EXE

Good luck...
