The other side of bell-style
Looking through the archives and searching the 'net, it looks like most people want to disable the bell in CYGWIN. In my case, I find the bell coming through my PC's speaker annoying, but only because it's not coming out of my audio card. I would prefer to be able to have the beep passed through my audio card and, ideally, allow the selection of what sound file (e.g. .WAV) would be played. ...Possible? Thanks, Mike -- Michael T.

Thanks, Mike Mike, In more recent versions of Cygwin (not sure exactly which, but at least 2 releases or more) the bell is generated using the Windows default beep (through the audio card if available). I don't think there's a separate setting for the Cygwin beep vs. the Windows default one, though.

Re: The other side of bell-style
Michael, Cygwin was changed to use the system beep as of Cygwin version 1.3.21: From http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-03/msg00841.html: Changes since 1.3.20-1: - Use MessageBeep for cygwin bell. (Vaclav Haisman) So just update your Cygwin and you'll get what you want. Randall Schulz At 09:39 2003-06-13, Michael T.
