I cant get any sound for new mail. The sound plays with other apps? Thunderbird 38.2.0 Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.2

This seems to be a common issue for Linux users. My computers are generally muted and so I don't know for sure if it affects me too. I use LMDE/Mate at home.

But, in answer to a related question, I installed ToneQuilla and hey presto, I get sounds. Sometimes even when I don't want them. :-/

I tried that with no success. I also tried Sound Plus with no results.
