I find that this happens sometimes in recent OS X versions. IF I restart VO, all returns to normal.

Are you sure they aren't set to be muted? In VoiceOver Utility, select Sounds from the categories table, then check that the "mute sound effects" box is not checked.

Hi there i just looked and as you said it was on mute the strange thing is I never go into VoiceOVer Utility I don't really need to so I'm kind of wondering if there is some hidden key stroke that does this either way it's annoying. Thanks for the help
