Go into Menu -> Interface -> Sound and tick "Sound in Background". Make sure that if you have sound disabled, NPCscan is set to Unmute for Alert Sound. Assuming all your sound devices are working correctly, you should be able to hear NPCscan go off when tabbed out of WoW.

Okay here is what I did to rig up a camping machine for my time lost.
I cranked all my volume except for music and ambience - just kept in game sounds. They will be loud as hell, people logging in and out, but its easy to just ignore them.
Now to make sure I didnt get kicked out by being AFK, I taped a roll of pennies to my left mouse button so the camera was always 'activated', then I put my mouse on top of an old clock with a second hand. If the second hand is wide enough, every minute it will pass under the mouse laser and cause the camera to shake, making it so you are not AFK.
It took a little while to perfect, but I was able to camp Time Lost through my sleep with this method. Of course though, I ended up getting it while I was watching a movie and actually at my computer.

I bought mine on the BMAH for 75k.

What makes you think I cant go on WoW, move 1second so i dont get auto logged & then tab again?
You're attitude towards responses won't help you get any answers. You want to kill a rare without putting the time or effort into it.... no sympathy for you

First of all, illegal wouldn't be the word you're looking for. I'm not going to get thrown in jail for anything to do with WoW.
Also, how?
I'm not using any kind of third party software, I'm not using any bots, I have nothing that automatically kills things for me or gets me free stuff. I had a mouse that occasionally wiggled so the camera moved enough that I didn't get logged out - if it even worked. If NPCscan went off, I still had to jump across the room, unhook my mouse from the clock, track the bastard down and kill it myself, if I even managed to get it. I'm still doing everything myself, no bots, no software, no editing of Blizzard files, no exchanging in game goods for out of game currency.
I know plenty of people who have used this method, including it being discussed on official forums with no issues from anyone.

Set Wow to windowed-full screen mode, then you can hear sound effects.
If you jsut have it set to full screen, u dont hear effects.
Try it with the fishing bobber.
