Horizon has default sounds delivered for various Circulation events. You can change these sounds to whatever you want, as long as the sound is contained in a .wav file. The sound works for only your workstation.

To change the sounds for Circulation events
1 | Find or create a .wav file to replace a Circulation sound. |
2 | Decide for which Circulation event you want to change the sound. |
3 | Go to the directory where the sounds are installed: |
The default location is Horizon_installation_location\sounds.
4 | If you want to save the old sound, rename it. (For example, rename the old sound to “SuccessfulCko_old.wav”.) |
5 | Rename the new sound file to the same name as the old sound file. (For example, rename the new sound file to “SuccessfulCko.wav”.) |
6 | Move the new sound file to the “sounds” directory. |
7 | Test the sound by performing the associated Circulation event. |
