Recently added this extension to Chrome in hopes of getting back those sounds that Windows use to have. No luck at al. Any steps you can share on getting this extension working would be great. I see that others have some luck using it.

Update: The developer has now added an options page! You can now customize every sound option in this addon. I also love that there is a preview button so you can see what the sound will be if turned on! Back up to 5 stars! This was my favorite addon previously that I couldn't live without. Unfortunately with the newest update the mandatory typing sounds have made it so I can no longer use to my liking and have had to disable it from Chrome. If there was a way to disable the typing sounds, this would be a 5-star extension. Hopefully the developer can find a way to make a toggle so I can use it once more!
