I was playing with this...and the only way I got it to show up....was to save the file as a

PCM Wave file (*.wav,*wave)

I was using Nero Wave Editor

Alright heres how you do it


step 1 get your 2 files, as far as i know they HAVE to be .wav files the shorter the better....

step 2 name the closing sound #_in.wav and the opening sound #_out.wav (where # is any number greater then 2 because 0 1 and 2 are taken up by the default sounds, i am assuming you can add as many as you want, and just keep them in the numerical sequence) and then copy them into your windows directory on the device

(now the registry editing begins)

step 3 browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > HTC > Sliding sound
and make a new key and number in sequence (so if this is your first it will be 3)

step 4 create a new string and set the value name as Default and for value data, name it whatever refers to your sounds

step 5 create another string set the value name as: in and enter the value data as title of your #_in.wav you made earlier

step 6 create another string set the value name as: out and value data as your #_out.wav you made earlier

step 7 (to make sure the reg edits stick) press the power button on your device on the side, leave it off for 30 seconds, turn it on, then back off and soft reset the device

step 8 go into your sliding sounds settings and apply your new sound scheme

remember to hit that rep..

PCM Wave file (*.wav,*wave), it cant be saved wma wave..etc I tried it , the only way was to save it "PCM Wave" file format.

I was using Nero Wave Editor, and it had the "PCM Wave" file format that I could save.

You might be able to google programs (freeware) that will be able to save in the "PCM Wave" format.

Kaos we are talking about adding sounds for notifications list ....are your regedits for that? <----"edit" I reworded to avoid confussion
