Sounds in Amlib

Sounds within Amlib

Certain events within the Circulation module of Amlib will play .wav format sounds. These sounds are defined in the Sound Table of the Supervisor module.

WARNING

The sounds may be activated or de-activated by editing the Y / N value in the first column. They should never be deleted.

Installation parameter for the sound path

Sound files should be held in a shared folder that is available to all users – sounds stored on a local computer will only be available on that particular computer.

In Amlib navigate to Main > Supervisor > Installation – the Installation (DEFAULT) screen will open
Select Installation > Choose Location
Highlight a circulation location and select OK
Select the Other tab and locate the setting ‘Location’s Sound Directory’
This is the current full filename path for your .wav files and generally your new sounds should be saved here and then no changes to the setting are required. As outlined above this should be a shared drive that all PCs can access, otherwise any new sounds need to be copied to every PC
This Sound Directory full filename path needs to be set for every circulation location if any changes are ever made to it

Changing a sound

Place your new short .wav files into the Sounds directory folder as above
In Amlib navigate to Main > Supervisor > Sound Table
To change a sound simply alter the file name of the relevant event to the new sound name

For example – If you have created a .wav file called banned.wav and wish this to be applied every time a banned borrower has their barcode scanned during issuing, edit File Name in the line:

CIRC/ISSUES IF BORROWER HAS BEEN BANNED.
Log out of Amlib and back in on all PCs

Turning a sound off

To deactivate a sound, change the Activated column’s value to a N. Do not delete any lines from this table as this will permanently disable the sound and could cause conflicts in future upgrades.
