If you change a theme in Windows 7 under the personalize dialog you will lose Avast’s sounds, they will dissappear from the windows sounds dialog.
There doesn’t appear to be a way to restore them other than manually :-\

Hi temp4746, welcome to the forum
I think this is the reason:
Guys, I’d say you’re confusing the original poster quite a bit
The problem with Windows 7 is that the sounds are bound to a particular profile, or that the profiles change quite often, I’m not completely sure - but the truth is that the sounds are registered only in the profile that was active when avast! was installed, and they may disapper if that changes.
Bob and YoKenny were referring to avast! 5, currently in beta; the problem should be solved there, because avast! doesn’t register the sounds as system events, but simply handles them itself (so, they should always be played, independent of the current profile).

That means it will happen until avast 5 comes out? :-\
A simple workaround for this is a button that restores the default avast sounds in its settings dialog.

I have no idea what will happen (i’m just a user like you…)
I’m not really sure how this will be handled, with the fact that avast! 5 is very close.
