Sound Help Please

[tamakh]

Where are the .wave files stored so that ShowEQ can use them for alert sounds?

Thank you!

SEQ doesnt come with any .wav files. You have to get your own (or use one of the ones that come with your linux system). When you find the sound files you want, put them where you want them and then specify in the showeq.conf the location and the name of the sound files.

Helpful hint: to find all the .wav files do a "locate wav |more" it will list all the files on your linux box that match wav and pause each screen full.

Thanks BlueAdept!

One more question please.

How do you set up a path? The path they give is the following:

"/usr/bin/esdplay spawn.wave &"


I have played around with it some, but I could not get a sound to play from my home folder in /home/tamakh/ding.wav.

Thanks!

/usr/bin/play /home/tamakh/ding.wav &

Should do it.

Yea as KennySP said, it would look like this

"/usr/bin/esdplay /home/tamakh/ding.wav &"

You should be able to play the sound from the command prompt. If you dont hear anything, your sound card may not be working.

RH tends to be very tempermental with sound cards. I have had a few that didnt work with it.

For some strange reason "/usr/bin/esdplay /home/tamakh/ding.wav &" didnt work. I used "/usr/bin/esdplay ding.wav &" after dropping the sound files into the /usr/bin/ directory.

Thank you BlueAdept and KennySP for all the help!!
