Options and Configuration > Options Dialog > Sounds There are various events that can trigger a sound from ClipMate. Most users find the sounds to be useful, some do not. You can turn the sounds on/off here, and you can even choose your own sounds from .WAV files. Use the "test" button to hear the various sounds. Tip: If you choose your own sound files, be sure to keep the files small! You don't want to tie up your CPU or disk drive by playing large sounds during clipboard events. 8-16KB is a good size. You can use the Windows Sound Recorder to "downgrade" other .wav files to make them smaller. Events
If a sound plays when you don't expect it, then some program on your system is doing something to the clipboard that you don't expect! It's fairly common for programs to update the clipboard when they shut down. But it's very RUDE when they use the clipboard when they start up! If you get a POP or Boing when starting a program, then it's probably using the clipboard to copy/paste its own stuff, possibly moving buttons onto its toolbar. Use the Sound Settings panel of the User Preferences dialog to play the various sounds, and determine which event you are hearing. You may also be able to correlate to items in the event log. Then you may be able to determine what's happening. |
