Per something I found on the wiki somewhere, in the 'General' setup section you can put something like "aplay -q /path/to/sound/file/soundfile.wav" in the 'keypress application' area. This is a hack, but now that I have done it it works quite well. Note that I had to restart the frontend application to notice the change. Also note that it works for LIRC keypresses, not the ones on the keyboard.
<br><br>The knoppmyth link led me to a thread with some pretty cool sounds, but they were a little obtrusive while browsing music.<br><br>I use the mediaportal software for myth-like functionality on my M$ Laptop. Mediaportal (
<a href="http://www.team-mediaportal.com/">http://www.team-mediaportal.com/</a>) has a really nice little click sound for their cursor movements. I tried it in myth and it works beautifully.<br><br>You can download thier butcher 2 theme at
<a href="http://www.team-mediaportal.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,35/func,select/id,11/">http://www.team-mediaportal.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,35/func,select/id,11/</a><br>and find the cursor.wav
file in the sound directory (it is the same sound as in the main program's theme, just a smaller download.)<br><br>I will also host the file for anyone that is too lazy, but please email me right away if you think it is some kind of violation. I dont think so cuz the project is open-source, and the dev's have been nice to me with other things in the past.
<br><br><a href="http://lisadaveh.home.comcast.net/myxer/cursor.wav">http://lisadaveh.home.comcast.net/myxer/cursor.wav</a><br><br>let me know what you think about possibly putting this in the wiki. I suppose I could ask permission from one of the MediaPortal dev's and see if they'd allow our wiki to host the file or something.

Hello<br><br> Is there a way to assign a beep sound to the button selections in<br>the MythTV UI? So that when I select items in a menu, I get a<br>"click" or "beep"? I loved this feature in my Tivo because I got
<br>audible confirmation when I pressed a button (very handy when forward-<br>searching using 3 speeds of search).<br><br> I'd be happy to create some nice audio files to use for this<br>feature if need be.<br><br>Thanks,
