Hi, Chris. Upon completion of render, 'Beep on completion' setting doesn't
beep (it does nothing), but both 'Display message' and 'Beep and display
message' beeps and displays message. The 'Do nothing' setting works as it
should :)

POV-Ray for Windows v3.5.beta.8.icl.win32
Pentium II 450mhz 256mb RAM
Windows 98

Works for me ... and this code hasn't been changed recently.

Can anyone else confirm this ?

Confirmed.

'Display message' sounds a chime and creates a dialog box.  'Beep' doesn't 
do anything.  WinME on P3 866.

  I think I found the problem. The sound volume on the .wav files that come
with POV is completely low compared to any other sound sources on the PC so
they are barely there if you have volume up high, therefore anyone who plays
an mp3 or a CD or just plain windows sounds will not hear it.

Are you sure the chime isn't from the dialog box itself ?

The source code for the beep sound doesn't permit different behaviour. The
exact same identical code is executed for 'beep' and 'beep and display'.

Are either of you using the VC++ compile ? Or could it be volume as was
suggested by another reader ?

  That was it. I was not playing any MP3s or CDs at the time but the
supplied WAV files are all but inaudible at my normal (music) listening
levels.

  I've just substantially raised the volume level and apparently that was my
problem. I used Creative WAV Studio to modify copies of POVWin's sound files
(although they are now about 10% louder than they should be) and went into
Control Panel to use the modified sounds - all is well now. Yes, the 'beep'
I heard before was actually from the dialog box opening, and not from
POVWin.

  I'm using the Intel compile, by the way.

I think I'll tweak the volume on them before the next beta.

  Thanks, Chris - that ought to fix it.
