1. You posted in the wrong section, this should have been in General.
2. To change the startup sound, it needs to be PowerOn.wav. Also, if you just changed the file extension from mp3 to wav, it also won't work. You would need to re-encode the file from MP3 to WAV.

HI
Before i start i have checked other posts, but no one seems to be having the problem that i am having.
I have a .wav file called Mail.wav i place it in the windows directory of my mda vario. I go to the sounds and notification program make sure enable sound for events and programs are selected. go to the notfication tab and choose an event. I then find my wav file in the drop down list box. i select it. when i try to play it through the play icon, no sound is heard. when i try to play any of the other default sounds from the drop down list , they all play correctly.
My wav file is ok there is nothing wrong with it, becuase when i play it through the vario's media player i hear the sound correctly.
Any ideas
Thanks in advance

Don't know how to solve your problem but you could try converting your wav to mp3 or wma and copy them to Windows/Rings and try again.
HI
Thanks
tried that didnt work. I think for notifications you need to put the sound file in the windows directory. That way they appear in your drop down list. I just cant understand that the sound file plays ok in th e windows media player , but not when you click the play button on the notification screen.

I don't have your unit, but I remember having the same problem some where with some poorly written software.
Copy one of the 'ok'(playable) sound-file (WAV) from your PPC to your PC. Right click on it and then select Properties -> Summary (Advance). Double check the information inside (i.e. Bit Rate, Audio Sample size, Sample rate etc). [ I'm not sure you can just do it in your PPC ]. Try confirm that both the 'ok' and 'non-ok' ones are having the identical properties. If not, try to make them match see if this helps.
hi.
thank you for the tip
did as you suggested and found out that the notifications are in .pcm format. I downloaded one of the audio conversion tools .and performed the conversion into the associative .pcm format. placed the conversion into the windows directory of the device. I went to the notification screen selected the sound file from the drop down menu . pressed play and it WORKED . can't thank you enough for your help
loving the vario even more

I'm confused ..
Making a flash file (swf) or video file (flv) from the Youtube movie isn't a big deal, and I'll knock one out over the weekend if you want .... but ...
How are you expecting it to run as a splash screen ? ... These are normally animated .gif files which would not have sound (and hence lose the impact) that you want ... if you have sound, I would expect them to play in series, i.e. animation for a few seconds, then the animation stops and the sound plays.
I could also knock out an animated .gif file but it wouldn't look too great as a silent movie.
sounds good
understand... i was wondering how it was done. yes i w as looking at maybe making a animated gif out of the "thx" youtube video. but i wasnt sure where to use a wav or other sound encoding to create the sound. i figured it could be done because at&t has sound on their 3g splash screen. any help i will appreciate. anyone?
Hi all,
i have a strange problem with the windows system sounds that does not seem to be ROM specific and here it comes:
Fresh installed device with own assigned system sounds (all wav files copied into the windows device folder) = Everything okay.
After a while (mostly some days) when the system sound is due, it only plays that short default "beep" instead of the assigned sound. The setting in the registry is still as okay as the sound setting itself.
When you open the specific wav file in Media player, it says: "Error 0xc00d0012"
Overwriting the file with a working one solves it temporarily again.
In my case it is the sound for IM+ messenger (when contacts go offline). It does not matter what sound you choose for this event.
I have read threads in other forums where users have the same problem but with other windows events/sounds so i don't know if this is to blame IM+...
What the hell is going on there ?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,
Scholler
I also have a similar issue, which I noticed only happening since the rom was upgraded by Vodafone.
I have a wav file set as new text message, but after a day or so, all I get is a beep. The file is unplayable but is you over write this file with a saved version, then it works again for another day or so.
Does it need to be a WMA file instead?
cheers
Neil
Hi Wheelie,
i don't think so but i will try it with a wma and see how it will behave...
Merry xmas,
Scholler
Okay, i tried it with a wma and it looks better now...
But i really don't understand why...

ive neva used .wma files i always assumed it had to be a .wav nice to know tho as .wma's are much higher quality
Ok, before i posted this i searched high and low and really couldn't find a strait answer. Here is what i am trying to do... I have a bunch of cool sounds... I would like to set these sounds as key tones... you know, like when i dial a number on my key pad.
So i got all the files in order, converted them to .ogg, and placed them in /system/media/audio/ui and renamed them key1.ogg key2.ogg etc.... Well nothing happens, i cant even play the file, it says its "unrecognized" by the stock media player and Rockplayer. anyone have any ideas?
I read somewhere that the "program" that plays these files will only recognize certain codecs or something, That is a little outside my AO (area of operation)....any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I was looking for a notification ringtone of LG 190b... I wanted to download it because I lost my phone and I wanted that notification ringtone back...
Anyway... I found your post and I know what is the ringtone you put here.
The cell model LG 180 has a ringtone called "Bell" which is exactly the ringtone you posted.
You can see it in a youtube video called "LG A180 ringtones". At 0:53 of the video, this "Bell" ringtone starts to play.
