Managing audio alerts
---------------------

Globally silencing sounds
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
indexterm:[audio alerts,silencing]
indexterm:[nosound.wav]

The file `nosound.wav` can be used
to globally disable audio alerts for a specific event on an Evergreen system.

For example, to silence the alert that sounds after a successful patron search:

[source, bash]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir -p /openils/var/web/audio/notifications/success/patron/
cd /openils/var/web/audio/notifications/success/patron/
ln -s ../../nosound.wav by_search.wav
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Self-check interface
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
indexterm:[audio alerts,self check interface]
indexterm:[self check interface,audio alerts]
indexterm:[audio_config.tt2]

Sounds may play at certain events in the self check interface. These
events are defined in the `templates/circ/selfcheck/audio_config.tt2`
template. To use the default sounds, you could run the following command
from your Evergreen server as the *root* user (assuming that
`/openils/` is your install prefix):
 
[source, bash]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cp -r /openils/var/web/xul/server/skin/media/audio /openils/var/web/.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
