Hi

I'm not quite sue if this is the right place but any info would be helpful.

Could anyone here please provide me with a circuit diagram for a soundboard
which plays the submarine diving noise? I'll need a complete list of
everything in simple language due to be being new at this.


The sounds are in sound files played by the system and over the
soundboard. Sounds are not generally embedded in the soundboard itself.

If you have a "multimedia computer" you already have everything you need
except the sound file. A google search produces this one which sounds
pretty damned good to me (I did 26 years in the Navy):

http://www.dod.gov/multimedia/audio/wwiisubdive.wav

If you double click that link, it should offer to play and/or save the
sound file. Save it to directory c:\winnt\media or c:\windows\media
(where all your other system sound files are) and you can associate with
system events. Go to sounds in the control panel to do that.

I use the following sound to announce the arrival of new email:

http://www.qsl.net/bb62/sounds/4bells.wav

Maybe you had to be there to get it, but when the Skipper of a ship
arrives or departs, the word is passed over the 1MC and the announcement
is preceded by 4 bells. At least it used to be that way and the common
joke was that it was done to keep him from sneaking up on anyone.

Are you a bubblehead?

Good luck,

Jack
