2.5.3. Sound
The Sound preference tool allows you to set sounds to accompany events. For example, your system
can play a certain sound every time you login. When you first open this tool, you should see a series
of tabs across the top of the window. Under the General tab, check that the Enable sound server
startup box is checked.
Click on the Sound Events tab, to display a list of actions that can be accompanied by a sound. To
change or add a sound to an event, click on the description of the event, then click on the Browse...
button. Choose a sound located in the file system, and then click Open. Sound files installed with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux are located in
from your home directory. Any file with a .wav extension can be used for an event sound. To listen
to a sound that has been selected, click the Play button. (If you do not hear a sound, follow the steps
in Section 10.3 Troubleshooting Your Sound Card.) When you are finished, close the Sound tool, and
your changes are saved.
