[QUOTE="spikedesmith, post: 663523, member: 45118"] [b]resolved[/b] I tracked down the problem after trying another account that did not have the same problem. The problem was trying to use a custom sound. I had the following settings enabled: Enable alert sounds Event: Receive First Instant Message = Play Sound: Receive Message Event: Receive Instant Message = Play Sound: Custom Sound (/Users/me/Library/Sounds/newalert.wav) The .wav sound appeared to be corrupted (I checked the size against a Time Machine backup and the size was smaller). This explained why I was able to receive the first message (since the Receive Message sound was triggered) but not subsequent messages. I removed the Customer Sound and everything works. Hope this helps out somebody in the future! [/QUOTE]
