3. Specify one or more of the following settings:

   Option | Description

   Volume | Adjusts the volume of the sound played on your computer.
   Sounds | Lists the sounds events to which you can enable the sound. To enable sound for an event, select the check box beside the event.

4. Click Apply and then OK to save your changes.
