If you’re a Treo 750 owner … you know what this is all about so not a lot of sense explaining what it is. For those of you who don’t own a 750 here’s a bit of knowledge:

The root cause of the Treo 750 losing Audio Alert capabilities is too many applications utilizing the audio driver. In certain situations when the user activates too many applications that need to share the device audio driver, system sounds and notification sounds can become muted. These applications can include the device Notes Recorder, the Vibrate Motor, Voice Command, Windows Media Player, and/or the camera/video recorder.

All of these applications need to resource the audio driver, and when too many are used simultaneously and an incoming call is made or an alarm is triggered, the device audio driver gets overloaded. In this state, the sound functionality enters a suspend loop, and the sounds do not play.
