iChat wont make alert sounds

[iCheese]

Hello,
for some reason ichat isn't making any noises such as the one it is supposed to make when I sign on, or when i receive a message. I have tried resetting the preferences manually and also have tried restarting ichat, but neither make a difference. Would deleting any of hte ichat preference files make it work? What ones specifically should I try deleting?

Thanks

nevermind I went ahead and deleted the preference files on my own, I was growing inpatient Doing that fixed the noise problem
