How can I lessen the sound level of just the "error" bong?
I can easily lower all sounds but I only want to lessen the volume of the
error bong sound I get whenever I hit the wrong button in a program or whatever causes that error bong to sound. I don't mind the error bong itself and I can easily lessen the volume of all sounds but I just want the error bong volume to be lessened to a pip. How can I lessen the sound level of just the Win10 "error" bong? |

How can I lessen the sound level of just the Win10 "error" bong? Find it in its system folder, and replace it with one that says in a really sexy, female voice "Hello Joe, when can we meet up?" Ed |

How can I lessen the sound level of just the Win10 "error" bong? Assuming Microsoft has not gotten around to nuking sound settings in the desktop operating system, yet... You can change system sounds by right clicking on the speaker icon in the notification tray Sounds. |

You can change system sounds by right clicking on the speaker icon in the notification tray Sounds. In that widget, the warning bong turned out to be the "Asterisk" or maybe "System Notification" (they seem to be the same sound to me). But I can't find a file called those names. But this file seems to be the notification bong I am asking about. c:\windows\media\windows background.wav Testing all the sounds in that sound panel, they're all too loud except for maybe the two "Disambiguation" sounds but those names don't exist in the file system. The closest I can find on the file system is this. c:\windows\media\speech disambiguation.wav Although this sound seems to be a good quick not-too-loud notification. c:\windows\media\windows ding.wav But this was the right volume. c:\windows\media\windows startup.wav So I changed the "System Notification" sound from "windows background.wav" to "windows startup.wav". Darn. It didn't work. Maybe I need to reboot. |

If you DO find the sound that is too loud you could load it into Audacity and edit the levels down some and export it as another name. Then change the settings to use your new sound file. |

You can record your own sound and have the entry that now plays a bong point to it. I had an early phone machine that didn't play a beep before recording the message** so I would say, "Please leave a message at the sound of the beep. Beep." Or "at the sound of the gong" and then I'd hit a wok with a stick. For a while the messages said "Please leave a message starting now." and a lot of people had trouble with that. I'd hear them say, I don't know whether to leave a message or not. **because it started recording right away. That is, every time it recorded both the outgoing and incoming meessages. I thought I'd get sick of hearing my own voice, but you know, I never did. The closest I can find on the file system is this. c:\windows\media\speech disambiguation.wav Although this sound seems to be a good quick not-too-loud notification. c:\windows\media\windows ding.wav But this was the right volume. c:\windows\media\windows startup.wav So I changed the "System Notification" sound from "windows background.wav" to "windows startup.wav".

How can I lessen the sound level of just the Win10 "error" bong? If what you mean by "lessen the volume of all sounds" is the general audio level rather than just the level of system sounds, you may be able to adjust the system sounds (i.e. the "error bong") by RIGHT clicking on the speaker and then click on "Open Volume Mixer", where you can lower the level of only system sounds. Note that this is somewhat dependent on what the drivers for the audio card in your computer supports, but it's generic enough that most computers should have a similar capability. -- best regards, Neil |

How can I lessen the sound level of just the Win10 "error" bong? On my W10 Pro system when I right click on the sound icon in the task bar I have an option called "Open Volume Mixer". When I open the mixer I have an option for "System Sounds" which lets me adjust all the system sounds at one time. No allowance for individual sounds but at least I have the option. Not sure if the options I see are from Windows or one of the sound drivers my laptop is using so your millage may vary. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

This works in windows 7. Search the windows directory tree for *.wav Identify the wave file that makes the sound you want to change. Edit the wav file. I did this for the "you've got mail" sound to lower it's volume. All you need is a sound editor to rerecord the file at a lower level. You may have to work around permission issues. I took ownership of everything, so I didn't have that problem. |

It works fine! I didn't know there was a different mixer control for system versus speaker sounds on my desktop! I'll try it out for a few days but it seems like the cat's meow! |

Or simply save the modified WAV to another location, like in your own profile or public folders 'MyError.wav' and adjust notification with the browse button to the new sound file. -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com |

I don't mind the error bong itself and I can easily lessen the volume of all sounds but I just want the error bong volume to be lessened to a pip. How can I lessen the sound level of just the Win10 "error" bong? I'd opt for creating my own error audio and making the volume as low as I wanted with the file itself. I'd then tell Windows to use that error audio file instead of the default. I'm not sure, but, I don't think you can specify a specific system sound file and give it it's own audio level as opposed to all system sounds. But the aforementioned work around is a way to accomplish the same thing. I don't have a win10 vm running at the moment to confirm whether or not you can adjust individual system sounds as opposed to all of them, sorry. -- https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php http://picpaste.com/B4rjEFK0.jpg - David and Trisha http://picpaste.com/U5np7XvN.jpg - RIAA love David style Cats are companions.
