Sounds not playing

External Since: Jan 13, 2004 Posts: 1

Help! I've set up the sounds for various events like
startup, shutdown, etc., but when those events happen,
instead of playing the sound, there's either nothing or
an annoying, sharp "beep" in place of the appropriate
sound. All the other audio sounds fine, Winamp plays,
WMP works, etc. I can't figure it out.

Hi Brian,

This will correct it:

Fix the Ding.wav File (Line 6)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

More information if needed:

Where did my sounds go?
