I would indeed use my application user-chosen sound level. I wouldn't provide this if PalmOS hadn't associated alert sounds with the key click setting. -- Luc Le Blanc > Luc Le Blanc wrote: > > I want to beep a sound regardless of the current system sound volume > > (many users set it to Off to avoid the key click every time they tap > > something).
