1. Configuration of System Sounds.

This screen allows ``System Sounds'' to be configured, so that when one of certain Events (such as opening a window, changing the desktop, etc.) occurs, a sound file associated with that event is played.

Currently, only sound files in *.wav format are supported by the KDE System Sound Module.

• Activate the ``enable system sounds'' option to use the System Sounds feature.

The Sounds box lists files from the default location $KDEDIR/share/sounds, where a set of *.wav files designed as ``System Sounds'' for various events is provided.

If other suitable *.wav sound files are available to you, they can also be added to this list dragging them from a File Manager (kfm) window onto the sound list box.

In addition, some of the ``Themes'' packages install and activate their own System Sounds. (Themes are installed with the Theme Manager, in the Settings->Desktop menu of the KDE Control Center).

• To associate a sound to an event, use the pointer to highlight its entry in the Sounds list. (You may now hear the selected sound by clicking on the Test button.) Then highlight the entry in the Events list that you wish to associate with it and click on Apply (or OK if you are finished).
