Changing the Sounds for Circulation Events

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.

Here is a list of the Circulation events that have a sound file and the name of the associated sound file:

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.
