Sounds
Select the sound to associate with the alarm. The list of sounds
contain a number of default Windows sounds. You cannot edit
these. However, you can add new sounds of the file type .wav, but
only if these are encoded in Pulse Code Modulation (PCM).
Even if the default sounds are standard Windows sound-files, local
Windows settings might cause these to sound different on different
machines. Some users might also have deleted one or more of
these sound-files and can therefore not play them. To ensure an
identical sound all over, you should import and use your own .wav
files encoded in PCM.
Add
Add sounds. Browse to the sound to upload one or several .wav
files.
Remove
Remove a selected sound from the list of manually added sounds.
Default sounds cannot be removed.
Test Test the sound. In the list, select the sound. The sound plays once.
