Alert sounds don't play when BI is running as a service, which is reasonable, there's no UI displayed.
To play a sound from BI as a service, create a DOORBELL.BAT file with this line in it:
Then, in Camera Settings->Alerts->On Alert->Run a program or script->File->path-to-your-doorbell.bat

To play a sound from BI as a service, create a DOORBELL.BAT file with this line in it:
Code: Select all
powershell -c (New-Object System.Media.SoundPlayer 'C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 5\sounds\doorbell.wav').PlaySync();
