Hi,
I¹ve also been working to repro this issue as well, I have found you need to
turn off the following Sound notifications and things seems to continue to
work on Leopard.
Sent mail sound
Mail error sound
No mail sound
You need to quit Entourage and restart for the sounds to return.
In the quick testing I did, I noticed that each of these options prevents
further sounds from working in Entourage.
