Name Description
Sounds
Select the sound to be associated with the alarm. The list of sounds
contain a number of default Windows sounds. These cannot be
edited. However, you can add new sounds of the file type .wav, but
only if these are encoded in Pulse Code Modulation (PCM).
Although 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 will therefore be unable to play them.
To ensure an identical sound all over, you should import and use
your own .wav files encoded in PCM.
Add
Lets you 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.
