[Dx4win] No System Beep
I lost mine recently as well. I changed to a faster computer and I thought that was the problem. Anyway, the new computer has a nice set of speakers, so I just changed to voice announcements. They work. Interestingly, the system beep still works for alerts other than for new countrys.Maybe when we find Bin Laden, he'll spill the beans on it!

Try turning on the Packet Cluster Beep command. Type Set/beep to turn it on, or Set/nobeep to turn it off. Additionally, the "use bell command" in DX4WIN packet 1 preferences must be checked. de Vic, AE5DX Logging and station control at AE5DX is accomplished using DX4WIN, version 5.03 - Original Message - From: "KC4ALG J Sartain" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2002 9:11 PM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] No System Beep > I have checked my preferences settings, sent commands to the cluster I log > onto, gotten advice over the reflector, and even burned ashes to read over > tea leaves.

[Dx4win] No System Beep
Missing beep update: I may not be the best case study since I had a hard drive crash a couple of weeks ago. I had to reinstall the upgrade for Windows 98SE, Norton AntiVirus 2001 and several other applications--so a lot of things changed. After I reinstalled everything, the system beeps worked for a while. One thing I do remember is that I did change the setup to allow CW alerts just to try them out. They worked fine, but I decided to go back to just plain system beeps. When I tried to change it back, all I hear now is a faint click--no beep.So I wonder if DX4WIN makes some change to a .dll when you select CW Alerts, but then does not reinstall the same .dll or .wav file if you try to go back. I am using Version 4.7.

In my limited experience, just about any installation of something new or "improved" can mean replacement of one .dll file with another. Supposedly, they are backward compatible, but I have seen cases where they weren't. I remember one epic case where we installed a piece of software on our network and all of our Microsoft applications network-wide stopped working! What this may suggest is that a reinstallation of DX4WIN is in order. Fortunately, that's not a very daunting task, and can even be done in a different directory that can be deleted to save space if it doesn't solve the problem. 73, Pete N4ZR The revised World Contest Station Database is online at www.pvrc.org

If not I would suspect a change in the format of the spots coming from the cluster, such that the expected format is no longer being recognized by DX4WIN. 73, Pete N4ZR The revised World Contest Station Database is online at www.pvrc.org

Just checked my voice alerts and they work fine. The grey spots do not cause any action. All that working fine but still no BEEP ! How is have it set up is for a voice alert only for a new country. All others except grey spots should get a beep.

I have checked my preferences settings, sent commands to the cluster I log onto, gotten advice over the reflector, and even burned ashes to read over tea leaves. Nothing I have tried in the last few weeks has restored the beep that used to come with each DX spot. All I can figure out is that maybe a cluster or windows update somewhere along the line has stopped it.

Posted this question a couple of weeks ago, but got no replies. Wonder if anyone can suggest what to look at to get my "system beep" back the one that notifies you that a new band/mode country has been spotted. It used to work, then just disappeared not sure what I might have done to make it stop working. I have "system beep" selected under "Packet 1" in Preferences, but no joy. Things work just fine if I select "CW announce", "call" (voice notification), etc. but not when "system beep" is selected. When it worked it used to produce a noise like "ding.wav". Larry Wi5A
