Hi, Martin, A customer is running software various machines and systems sounds interfere with their software for various reasons. The problem is that these are machines in schools and it is not possible to upgrade the machines or change them in anyway as there are many, many bureaucratic hurdles to jump through. In some cases, if a legacy driver audio installed, for example, then system sounds prevent their program from playing sounds if a system sound happens to play at the wrong time. Also, systems sounds cause confusion since their program uses sound as feed back for small children. I really hope you can help me with this...it is very important. -----Original Message----- From: wdmaudiodev-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:wdmaudiodev-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Martin Puryear Sent: Monday, April 19, 2004 7:34 AM To: wdmaudiodev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Re: Turn System Sounds On/Off Hi Sam, What is the scenario that makes you want to do this? -----Original Message----- From: wdmaudiodev-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:wdmaudiodev-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sam Tertzakian Sent: Monday, April 19, 2004 5:29 AM To: wdmaudiodev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Turn System Sounds On/Off Hi, I need to write a routine that runs in user mode that allows me to turn System Sounds on or off in 98SE, 2000 and XP.
