text: would anyone know  why  i don't have any sound in yahoo email? sound works fine with everything except my yahoo emails that have background sound.  i am using windows xp home edition with all current updates.  i am also using soundblaster live. well, background email audio only works on emails downloaded via mail cients not on webmail...  so, if the mail contains background sound, unless its an html link to a file available on the internet and not embedded in the email body, then it won't be accessible unless the mail is downloaded via outlook/thunderbird/incredimail/etc mail client...
