In the System/Sound preference pane there are two volume sliders. If you're referring to the alert sound make it is to the right enough.

Log into another user account and see if the problem persists there in Photos. (This tells us if the problem is limited to your user account or is system wide).


Boot into Safe Mode (Use Safe Mode to isoloate issues with your Mac) and test there. Reboot normally and test again.

NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.
