I'm using VS 2005 (ver 8..50727.42). The system sounds for the Build events
don't seem to be working. I have valid wav files listed in the Control Panel
Sounds applet (they're the same ones I'm using successfully in VS 2003), but
nothing is played when a build completes.
On a side note, I created a macro that uses BuildEvents_OnBuildDone where
I'm checking the output window for the results, but that gets called before
the build results are written for multi-project builds.

The Visual Studio 2005 IDE hasn't exposed a relavent interface to Windows,
we are unable to attach sound with VS2005 build events as the way of
VS2003.

Currently the workaround to attach sound with VS2005 build events is via
the IDE macro as you mentioned, the behavior you desrcried is as expected,
the VS2005 environment events don't provide a Build Succeeded event.

Thanks for your understanding!

Best regards,

I found this blog that shows how to add the sounds:
