Start up sounds · DIGIT-ARC

Hello friends
After I installed SP2 of XP,my start up sound isn't working.Can you help me?

C

Control Panel --> Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices --> Sounds and Audio Devices --> Sounds Tab. Find the Windows Start sound there. Hope it helps.

I tried wut you had suggested.But its not working. Any other suggestions?

H

1 thing i can suggest u , if u want any other music or song convert in wave format and assign to startup and save the theme as suggested u earlier .
at least some thing works !!!!

Are u using any 3rd party firewall? It might be that the firewall has disabled startup sounds to enable faster booting of ur PC. Have u used any 3rd party software, to increase the booting speed of ur PC? It might be hat ur registry got tweaked & the start-up sounds were disabled..

Thirdly, Did u use autopatcher to patch up Win XP? Because, I realised that startup sounds on my PC got disabled abruptly after I had run autopatcher on my PC...

Check out on the 3 possibilities & write back...

HK

just go to
Control Panel --> Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices --> Sounds and Audio Devices --> Sounds Tab.

and load default theme. and click apply

I had used Autopatcher XP and also a firewall sometime before.But I uninstalled firewall.
Is there any way to enable it?

Did you disable some services after installing SP2?

You may use softwares such as Sound Forge or freewares such as Audacity to convert mp3s to wav format

hey cybermanas
I did not disable any settings myself.I dont know if Autopatcher XP does so.

Well my start up sounds were working properly untill the last month when I had installed some programs such as XP SP 2 ,Kerio Personal Firewall.So I think it may be related to those.
