AC 12: Where's my audio feedback?

OK, I give up.

Where are the user feedback sounds? The little honks, chirps and bleeps that inform you that you have successfully sucked up attributes or injected them or that the 3D window display is progressing, ect. All of these, on my system at least, have been replaced with the generic system error sound.

D-Man, thanks for taking the time to post an annotated screenshot. Truth is, I missed the checkbox even after looking for it (too rushed and too many options spread out over too many places), but yeah, the box was checked. Turning it off gives silence. Turning it on gives the lame system beep only. Changing the system beep changes the sound in AC too. I'm still mystified. Are you saying it works as expected on your end?

On Windows there is a Sound item in the Control Panel where you can set sounds used by various application events. There are several ArchiCAD entries there, like ArchiCAD: 3D model is complete etc.
Maybe there is something similar on the Mac, too.

I noticed this too. Instead of different ArchiCAD sounds indicating various actions or warnings, we get the one system alert sound.
