Shutter sound gone after Media Player upgrade

It probably isn't. It is part of the multimedia sounds in windows.
Go to control panel - sounds
And check the sounds events. Opem program and similar.
If it is defined OK, then it is a photoshp 6 problem.

I hope this helps !

From looking at the sound events connected with Photoshop 5 you should be able to see what .wav file is connected to opening the program.  If you cannot see a way of doing a similar thing for version 6, then you might try this free program, called JustAddWavs:

sdlarry, have you made any progress in solving your absent shutter sound for Photoshop 6?

I went to the control panel and sounds and assigned a utopia minimize(shutter release sound) sound to Open Program. This did not work very well, because when booting up the sound happens often, and seems ridiculous.

So I returned to the sound section of control panel and reassigned None for Open Program.

Now, low and behold, when I open Photoshop 6, the familiar, beloved shutter sound has returned.  I don't know what happened, but I'm happy it's working again!

Thanks all, Larry

Who knew???

Weird !!

Apparently the two sounds were conflicting with each other !!

I'm glad it is working !

Thank you for the award of this question.  I'm happy to help.  Hopefully it was my solution which served you. If others did, though, please let me know so that I can ask Community Support to adjust, if appropriate.

Best wishes,
