Interesting: after the last major update for Windows 11 (Version 22H2), the sounds started working again.
My test program worked also.
Yea!!!

I should have asked. Are you using the system32/winmm.dll ?

OK, I will play with this. I wrote a quick program using the PlaySound() API. It does work on my Win10 surface pro, but NOT on my Windows 11 Desktop! If I find anything, I will let you know.

I'm not sure that the upgrade to windows 11 is when the issue started. But when running from the GUI, I don't get any sounds at all (compare, sync, etc). Under options, it will NOT play the test sound either. If I select browse and use the context menu to play, that works.
I downloaded 11.15 and ...

I run a backup every day and I always get a warning.
Heads up, some people may lose access
You moved "sync.ffs_lock" out of the shared folder.
I am syncing from Google Drive to a local drive.

Can an option be added to fix this?
