Sound
Gnome
uses a sound server to play
sounds.  Sometimes you want the sound server to start.
The
Sound
capplet in
Gnome
Control Center
configures the sound daemon's
behavior.
Sound Options
You can choose to let the sound server startup when
Gnome
starts up by selecting the
Enable sound server startup
.
If you wish to use the sound server for events, you click the
Sounds for events
button.  An event is
something like a mouse click or warning that could play a sound
for notification reasons.
Sound Events
Gnome
2 allows you to configure the
sound events that are played.  This configuration takes place in
the
Sound Events
tab of the
Sound Properites
applet.
The view is broken up into two halves.  On the left side, are
categories and the sound descriptions.  On the right side is the
file name of the audio file to play.
To change what file is played for any specific event, click on
the event to select it.  Click the browse button and select the
file you wish to use.  You should press the
Play
button to make sure this is the
sound you want.  Press
Apply
to make your changes.
