Very good.

Win-Test does not use the "WinKey messages" at all.  It uses its own CW
messages, which you program by typing MSGS [Enter] in the logging window
(this is shortcut for clicking Options | CW | Modify standard messages)

Any idea what happened to the sound and why the Winkey messages no longer

When you use an external WinKey rather than the Win-Test internal CW keyer,
all CW timing is handled by the external hardware, so the "beeps" go away.
 You can enable the WinKey's own "monitor" speaker using the WinKey software
if you want to hear beeps every time you or the computer sends any CW.
