Can someone tell me where the setting is when you reboot you see the XBMC logo and there is a music tone before it goes into the dash/skin.
thanks.

It is skin-specific. Which skin are you using?

I am changing it all the time but the sound should have come up with the default, what I call the default when you first install XBMC with the girl in the photo section I don't remember the name.
thanks

You are using an old skin, and an old build of XBMC.
I am going to presume the skin is Project Mayhem. Look around and search. The solution will likely require modifications to skin files.

Yes project Mayhem I do have XBMC4XBOX. Version 3.5 Beta 3, I have the skins in E:\skins that has all the XBMC skins, so there is a place I can download new updated skins? If so do I place them in the E:\XBMC directory or E:\skins directory? My XBMC is not in E:\Apps.
thanks.

Yeah. I'm about to head to work but skins are available at these forums by developers.
The power-on sound is something PM3 had in the past. I know I have seen this addressed in one form or another here on the forums. Browse through stuff, use the search key. It will be a rewarding use of time.
Hint: if you're lazy like me, peek into the skin xml files of interest using UnleashX;s text editor. Just careful not to accidentally overwrite the original with a borked copy. I just use it to peek and find which files I should FTP. If you have Notpad++ it will syntax highlight code bits, as well.

- Add the sound you want to use to: /XBMC/skin/YOUR_SKIN_NAME/sounds/start.wav
- Add the following to the <windows> section of /XBMC/skin/YOUR_SKIN_NAME/sounds/sounds.xml
Code: Select all
<window>
<name>startup</name>
<activate>start.wav</activate>
</window>
Copying sounds.xml and start.wav from /XBMC/skin/Project Mayhem III/sounds to the sounds folder of most skin should do the trick.
