Audio page (IDE Options dialog box)

Use the Audio page of the IDE Options dialog box to configure JBuilder's audio feedback.

Audio is attached to various events and is enabled by default. JBuilder provides an audio theme stored in JBuilder's lib/audio/ directory. You can also add custom audio files and attach them to specified events.

To customize JBuilder's audio feedback, choose Tools|IDE Options and choose the Audio tab. Customize the audio by setting the following options in the IDE Options dialog box.

Audio Volume

Adjust the volume and disable or enable the audio.

Theme

Choose JBuilder's default audio theme or select a custom theme that you've added.

Audio Events

Enable or disable individual audio for events.

Play

Plays the selected audio event.

Reset

Resets everything to the state they were in when the dialog box was displayed.

Adding custom audio files

To add custom audio files to JBuilder,

  1. Create a 16-bit .wav audio file for each event.
  2. Name each file according to the event:
  3. Archive the files in a compressed or uncompressed ZIP archive.
  4. Name the archived file with an .audiopak extension.
  5. Save the archive to the <jbuilder>/lib/audio/ directory.
  6. Restart JBuilder if it is currently running for the new theme to be visible in the drop-down list.

Note: .wav files must have 16-bit sampling.
