Hi, the sound (ding ding ding) itself should work, voice is history.

ding ding ding also dosen't works. today avast detected 3 threats online. but only notification worked. no sound i.e ding ding ding

and also when avast detects virus then 1 window pop ups. what is this error about? whenever avast detects virus from a website then this pop up msg comes. how to fix it

when i disable all shields of avast then this pop up msg doesn't comes out when i try to download same file which avast detected it as virus.

Did you turn all shields back on?  You want to have WebShield running in particular.  I'd not turn this shield off under any circumstances anyway.  Not safe.  WebShield must run in order to detect the malware test file.
