Not hearing the downloaded alert sounds

Hello again,

Well you all certainly helped me with downloading the alert sounds,
thanks again, now my problem is that I can't hear them. I am using a NUVI 1450
and it has alert sounds for the POIs I have loaded but that is all
it provides as they appear. Can you all give me a hand with this
one? I'm sure I'm not doing something correctly. I do know that I have
named them all exactly. csv, bmp, and mp3 file suffixes.

Thanks for all your help.

You need wav file and sox.exe for voice alert.Your unit will not play mp3.See http://www.poi-factory.com/node/25730 .Also make sure you run poiloader in manual mode and set distance for alert.
