This has been bugging me a while now and I am out of ideas. The #BEEP for Cmud seems to be really soft, compared to Zmud's and all my other programmes. Is there any way I can change this to be louder without making everything else on my computer sound out at ear shattering volume. Thanks.

If you find the #BEEP volume too low, you can choose another windows sound. The default is 0, you can try 15.

Or use #PLAY to play any *.WAV or *.MP3 file that you want. The #BEEP command just calls Windows to play a built-in Windows sound...CMUD has no control over this volume.

I personally like:

I've already tried various windows sounds. What puzzles me is that Zmud plays the same sound much louder than Cmud. Maybe I messed something up with my sound card. I will try and see if I can find any mp3 that's short enough and tolerable enough to list to every few minutes. thanks.

zMUD messes around with the global volume level of your computer (which is actually a bad thing). So just check your Windows volume or Mixer levels. CMUD just calls the Windows Beep system routine directly and doesn't mess around with the volume of your sound card. It respects your system settings more than zMUD did.

I thought I remember you saying something a looooooooooooong time ago in the zmud forums, how CMUD was going to have independent volume control? Thats one feature I wish it had, as I can't play at work, because I need the volume on my computer up, but my audio alerts go DING and WEEEEEEERUP and WHAWHAWHA very loud. I suppose I could turn off the audio alerts, but... I need them to be audio for a reason. *wink wink* Any plans? Or am I to look to 3rd party audio controlling? ^^ TIA! (And hope I didn't hijak your thread...)

If you have Vista, you can go into the sound control panel and select different volume levels for every active program you have running. You can set CMUD low while you're watching a DVD or vice versa.

CMUD *does* have independent volume control for it's MSP sounds. There just isn't any way to access it via the simple #PLAY command. But if you use MSP to play a sound, like:
