So with the value set to 0 once again I tried to delete the key. I did not get a shutdown sound or Logon/Logoff sounds. Using both methods of shutdown described earlier I did get a startup sound! So I modified the key value from "(value not set)" to 1 and then to 0 and got the same following results for both modified settings: I tried to delete the key as directed but it would not let me?
I still would like to hear an expert opine on the overall situation - how to get Startup and Shutdown sounds working or if they can't be made to do so.Īn interesting suggestion with partial results. I have wondered why no startup sound is in this registry position and would there be a startup sound if one was added. I did not delete those entries but just changed the values. I modified the values from 1 to 0 so they would not be excluded from the CPL. Some sounds have an additional registry "ExcludeFromCPL" (control panel list) such as Windows Logoff, Logon and SytemExit. What is strange is you will find a "System Exit" entry but no one labeled that would be a startup sound for Windows. However, if you go to registry editor HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels you will find the sounds. The startup one is just a single percussion like pop like the wood rods in music class. The shutdown sound when played is pretty normal.
If you go to the Windows Folder > Media you will find Windows Shutdown & Windows Startup sound (.wav) file in my final 10240 build.
