orelio / sound-manager Goto Github PK

Hi, I'm building my custom images for Windows 8, 8.1, 9, 10, and 11. When setting Sound Manager for two users it will play one or the other. Even if I install Sound Manager in Programs x86 as "Sound Manager" and "Sound Manager2" to attempt to setup schemes for each user, I have had no luck to figure out a work around to get both users (Admin account & User) to have Sound Manager. I have to choose one user or the other to have a scheme. If you may please share a work around or add compatibility to allow multiple users to share or have different schemes if possible.

Thank you,
Andrew

In Windows 11, when using "at logon" trigger with Task Schedule, the logon sound plays much sooner than when using the built-in startup folder start menu shortcut created by the startup option in "Sound Manager".

Action used in Task Schedule "Start a Program":
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SoundManager\SoundManager.exe" --bg-sounds

EDIT: Optionally, "Stop task if it runs longer than..." can be set (1 minute works great for me) to automatically close the SoundManager.exe process afterwards. However, this will break logoff and shutdown sounds.

After creating the Task Scheduler task, the "Sound Manager" startup option can be disabled.

Thank you SO much for this tool! It's a huge help for me in Windows 10/11 since my built-in system sounds window is bugged at my monitor DPI/resolution settings. With the built-in Windows Sound Settings, the window is cut off at the bottom so I can't browse or select different sounds for each sound event. Clean installing Windows didn't help in my case, and this was in both Windows 10 and 11.
