Or... "echo > /usr/share/sounds/ui-wake_up_tune.wav" and save 360k of memory and 4 seconds of boot time. Sweet...

Ok, I modified my Startup, Shutdown, and New Email sounds files. The Shutdown and New Email files are great. But the Startup file is very low. On my computer, it's loud. But on the 770 it plays low. And the volume setting is set to max. Is there a way to modify the startup sound volume or something?

And my shutdown sound file is 2 seconds long. But it seems to cut off after 1.3 seconds? The image still is shown, but the sound is cut off before the 2 second sound file is finished?

Can anyone help?

How long was the original shutdown sound?

It was the same. What's interesting is that sometimes my shutdown sound plays fully, and sometimes it cuts off. It's different every time. Can you solve the problem with my startup volume being really low?

i can't answer your problem about the low volume, but maybe chang the volume by 200% in sndrec32 or somthing of the sort.
about the sound cutting off, i assume it's like trying to play a wav file on a windows computer, and then unplugging the power cord before it's done playing.
Same concept, just the shutdown times are different.
