Disable System sounds before installing the
WaveDriver
Digidesign recommends disabling all system
sounds. Users may encounter problems when
system sounds are associated with Empty Recy-
cle Bin, Select, Open Program, and Close Pro-
gram and other Windows events. In addition,
disabling the Windows Start and Exit Windows
sounds helps prevent possible speaker damage.
The Digidesign WaveDrivers default to 0 dB
when installed. Remember to turn down your
monitoring levels before reboot after the
WaveDrivers are installed.
To disable system sounds:
1 From the Start menu, choose Settings > Con-
trol Panel > Sounds.
2 To disable all system sounds, under the
Scheme pull-down menu select No Sounds.

To disable specific system sounds, scroll down
the list of Events and select the one you want to
disable such as Start Windows. In the Name
drop down list, select None.
3 Click Apply, then OK.
4 Restart Windows.
