The Sounds Options dialog is used to configure BlueZone's special sound features which control the behavior of host and application sounds when using BlueZone.

From the BlueZone MenuBar select Options:Sounds or select the Sounds icon from the BlueZone Toolbar.

Sounds Tab

Options ----

There are two options, one to enable the Host Bell and one to enable the BlueZone Application sounds.  These options are mutually exclusive and can be used and configured separately.

• Enable Host Bell: If enabled, the "host bell" will sound when BlueZone makes a host connection.  No sound is made when BlueZone disconnects from the host.  The sound played will depend on one of the following settings:

• Play the Windows System Sound: This choice will use the sound that is associated with the sound name that appears in the System Sound listbox.  By default, the SystemDefault sound is selected.  In this case, the sound that is associated with the Default Beep in Windows, is the sound that will be played as the "host bell".

• Beep the PC Speaker: This choice will send 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: Use this button to test the selected option above.

• Enable BlueZone Application Sounds: This is used to choose whether or not you want BlueZone to use the pre-configured 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 will be played each time BlueZone makes a host connection.

NOTE  If you also have the Enable Host Bell option selected, the "host bell" will also sound each time BlueZone makes a host connection, resulting in a double sound.
