Did the latest update mess up your notifications within TF2?

For me, if for example someone trades me, before I got the window to the mid-left of my screen, informing someone wants to trade.

But now, I get no sound effect, and the only place I can see it in is the pause menu. Same with new items that I find, I don't get proper notifications anymore.

This really, really sucks, has anyone found a fix for it just yet?
