Sounds Options dialog

From the Rocket TE menu bar, click Options → Sounds.

Sounds tab

Options

There are two options: one to enable the host bell and one to enable the Rocket TE application sounds. These options are mutually exclusive and can be used and configured separately.

• Enable Host Bell: If enabled, the host bell sounds when Rocket TE makes a host connection. No sound is made when Rocket TE disconnects from the host. The sound played depends on one of the following settings:
  • Play the Windows System Sound: This choice uses the sound that is associated with the sound name that displays in the System Sound list box. By default, the system default sound is selected. In this case, the sound that is associated with the Default Beep in Windows, is the sound that is played as the host bell.
  • Beep the PC Speaker: This choice sends a beep to the PC speaker as the host bell. You can choose both the frequency and the duration of the sound.
    • Frequency: Is in Hertz
    • Duration: Is in Milliseconds
  • Test: Click to test the selected option above.
• Enable Rocket TE Application Sounds: This is used to choose whether or not you want Rocket TE to use the preconfigured Windows sound settings for Windows applications.

For example, in the Windows Control Panel, if you have a Windows sound associated with Device Connect, that sound is played each time Rocket TE makes a host connection.

Note: If you also have the Enable Host Bell option selected, the host bell also sounds each time Rocket TE makes a host connection, resulting in a double sound.
