Need help on how to enable startup animation sound

**mikee4fun** · #1 (**permalink**) 04-26-2008, 03:26 PM

So I have been playing around with the ppcgeeks kitchen and been trying to enable audio on boot screen animation and can't get it to work. I get animation just no audio and I have a valid wav file in my windows root. These are my settings in the reg.

HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation

Enabled 1
GiFFile \Windows\WMStartup._ani.gif
UseStardardAudioAPI 1
Volumn 5 For some odd reason it is misspelled
WAVFIle \Windows\Startup_sounds.wav

It seems like I should get audio playback but don't. If anyone can shed some light on this I would be greatfull.

Thanks,

Mikee

Do you have that .wav in your windows folder? I don't.

Maybe take the underscore out? Knowing windows, the player they used is probably from 1995 and doesn't understand special characters or something

I tried a different wav without underscore and still a nogo. Hmm maybe a component to the animation from the kitchen is just not there. Probably a dll file or something.

Howdy Mike - did you ever solve this issue with the WAVFile not playing on startup? I've been having the same issue after flashing to no2chem's 5060 rom.

its actually a problem with the .wav file...on startup it needs to have a certain kHz, Bit, and kb/sec. Im not sure what they need to be though (im actually looking for that myself right now when i found your post)

don't know if you guys got this working or not. I noticed with the new sprint release for the vogue that the startup .wav file plays, but then when I cooked a rom in the kitchen and substituted my own .wav, it only plays the very first time it boots, but not after any soft resets. I'd love to get this working!

Same with no2chems later roms. You hear the sound on first boot and there is no more. Must be a reg setting someplace.

I'm having the same problem with the startup animation in the 5067 kitchen. I get it the very first time it boots after installing the kitchen, but never again. Oddly enough, I flashed my friend's Titan with most of the same software with the same kitchen, and the animation works on every boot.

Maybe there's an application from the kitchen that causes this issue for both the sound and the animation?!?
