Mail - repeats/replays sounds when plugging headphones

I upgraded to Mountain Lion on my MacBook Air 2011. Now whenever I plug in headphones the mail app repeats all the sounds that it has already played through the built-in speakers in succession. So if I have not plugged in headphones for a day I get the last days worth of mail sounds played all over again. Can take a minute or two to get through them all. No idea what is happening.


Cheers,

Mike.

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion

here we are in 2015, and the same issues still happens.

Same thing here for nearly 3 years on my macbook air 2011 and Air 2013, both on 10.8.5. 20 years on Macs & have never had so many issues.

I will say that computer "crashes" are a thing of the past which is amazing, but so many other little issues arise constantly. And why does it seem like Apple ignores these forum complaints more and more as time goes on..? It's almost as though "We're too big to fail, so we'll just put out another OS & you'll forget all about the bugs in the last one."

There has got to be a fix for this other than updating to a new OS which my 512GB Air does not have room for! a topic for another forum topic, but how on EARTH does a 512gb fill up on files considered "Other"??? never seen such a ting in all my 20+ years on Mac, and no APPLE utility to fix it, scan it, see what those files are.
