Alternative gameplay Create a personalized Windows XP sound

When you turn on your computer and enter Windows, the computer will make a sound. If it is the standard installation method of Windows XP, the surround sound effect is emitted at startup. If it is Windows XP pre-installed by other vendors, it may be other sounds.

Windows not only makes a sound when it starts up. If you do something wrong, there will be a harsh chord. When the mail arrives, the mail program will emit a loud number. When you empty the Windows Recycle Bin, you will hear a sound that is discarded after the document is smashed.

Windows comes with a sound library that uses different sounds to prompt when different events occur. If these sounds upset you, such as the sudden chord sounds may give you the urge to throw your computer away from the fourth floor. Can you replace these noises with your favorite voice? Of course, the sounds triggered by these events can be changed. You can choose to turn them off directly, or you can use music downloaded from the Internet or even your own recorded sound instead.

For the sound settings, first open the sound scheme folder of the Windows Control Panel (see Figure 1). From the Start menu, choose Control Panel Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices. The screen then shows a list of three tasks. Select the second line "Change Sound Scheme". The Sound and Audio Device Properties window opens and appears on the Sounds tab.

At the bottom of the window, there will be a dialog box labeled "Program Events" that includes all Windows events that can specify a sound. An event that already has a sound connection will display a small speaker icon in front. Click on the event with the icon, the play button on the side below the “sound” will be activated, click to listen to the effect of the sound (see Figure 2). Take a look at the "Program Events" list and you'll notice that not all events have a triggering sound, mostly blank. Events that already have sound settings can also be modified at will.
