I found an mp3 that I want to use as a startup sound. I configured the startup sound in prefs. Tested it there and it played. But when I boot Haiku, I don’t get the sound. Is that working yet?

It doesn’t work, yet. The system tries to play the sound too early, before media_server is started, and obviously this doesn’t work well. In BeOS the media_server itself played the startup sound and that worked better (it also was helpful to confirm “everything ok” after a media_server restart).
OK, well that explains that one.
Thanks
I don’t know about you guys,but i’ve been using a startup sound for several months now and it works as expected!
for the record, i’m using a wav sound, it’s actualy the winXP startup sound (i like that one) that i copied over to ~/config/non-packaged/data dir ,it still working with the latest nightly. try to convert your mp3 file or use a different wav sound and see if it works.
I did that
converted it to .wav
moved it to…non packaged/data
confiured it in sound prefs. tested to be sure it played.
rebooted.
nope, no startup sound.

WOW 3 posts for the price of 1. Not sure how that happened.
Anyway, sometimes I do hear the very tail end of my startup sound. So, maybe you are just getting lucky and media server is starting fast enough on your system to play it.
Not a big deal, I’m sure the devs will solve the underlying issue.
