USViking Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) EDIT: The title should not specify "Opening Lead". The problem occurs on first seat opening bid. The your-turn-to-bid alert audio chime often fails to sound for me in the Free Auto tournaments when I am first seat in the auction. By "often" I mean the problem may occur well over 20% of the time when I am first seat. It never occurs at any other time. As a result I get removed from tournaments on a significant number of occasions when, while dummy or when the play of a hand is complete several minutes before the round times out, I am doing something besides staring at an inactive screen or following play. This has been going on for me since day one, for years, during which I have used at least two different (old, used) PCs. If I am doing something wrong in my options set-up what could it be? Otherwise I wonder if there is a possible maintenance quick fix by BBO. Edited April 26, 2016 by USViking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USViking Posted November 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Problem raised in OP is if anything worse. It might actually be occurring 100% of the time, as in I never get an alerting chime when I have the first bid. Does this only happen to me? Is there any fix for it?

barmar Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I just tried playing in a free automated tourney, but I was never dealer. However, there's a beep whenever a new board is dealt, and it's much louder than the chirp for when it's your turn to bid, so I suspect the bidding chirp may be getting drowned out if you're dealer. Do you not hear this beep? I then tried playing against robots in the main bridge club. There's no beep when a board is dealt, but I definitely got the alert when it was my turn to bid, even if I was dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
