Hi all,
I presume that you mean the sounds look like the image?
I'm pretty sure this is a left over from the uninstall of avast! 4 as the avast! 5 sounds are not bound to the sounds dialog.
As far as I know, the sounds had to be moved because of issues where the sounds were messed up in win 7 and being bound to certain profiles. Having them where they are now, means that this doesn't happen.
(I'll try and find the post from one of the ALWIL team that confirms this)
Now the sound files are located:
XP --> C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Alwil Software\Avast5\sounds
Vista (onwards) --> C:\ProgramData\Alwil Software\Avast5\sounds
ProgramData is a hidden folder so you will have to enable hidden files and folders.
The 1033 folder is where the voiceover sounds are located.

EDIT:
I think this is the reason for them being moved:
Guys, I'd say you're confusing the original poster quite a bit - as I believe he has avast! 4.8, right?
The problem with Windows 7 is that the sounds are bound to a particular profile, or that the profiles change quite often, I'm not completely sure - but the truth is that the sounds are registered only in the profile that was active when avast! was installed, and they may disapper if that changes.
Bob and YoKenny were referring to avast! 5, currently in beta; the problem should be solved there, because avast! doesn't register the sounds as system events, but simply handles them itself (so, they should always be played, independent of the current profile).
