Title: Windows XP startup & shutdown sounds aren't playing :(
Post by: jasonbar on February 28, 2009, 02:08:18 pm

Howdy-

I've got Windows XP Pro running my cabinet.

I go into the Sounds control panel & set up a sound for Start Windows ("Intruder Alert Intruder Alert") & Exit Windows ("Chicken.  Fight like a robot").  They play fine in the control panel when I select & preview them, but I get no sounds during the actual Windows start or exit...

...any thoughts on why not?

Thanks!

did you disable them when you set up your system or are you using installer shell?

I'm just booting plain old Windows XP, no instant sheller or anything.

I don't see how to disable system sounds.  Is that in the Sounds control panel?

Thanks,
