Neilyum 0 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi Folks! ? Apologies in advance if this has been asked/answered elsewhere, I could not find the info. (Running ESET Internet Security 12.0.27.0 (fully updated) on Win 10 Home PC, 16GB RAM) I'm trying to have a sound (.WAV file) play when certain events are triggered. For example, completion of a Scan, or problems found, etc. I know where to look to see if this feature is available, and it is under Setup / Advanced Setup / User Interface and "Use Sound Signal" is already checked/enabled. I guess I'm confused because I have NO idea *where* these sounds are located and/or how to change them. Any Info, tips, advice, etc. will be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance! ?

Administrators Marcos 4,551 Posted November 12, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 12, 2018 You should hear a sound signal after a scan has completed. I reckon it's "Asterisk" which is played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilyum 0 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi Marcos! ? Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately, I do not hear the "Asterisk" or any other sound after a Scan is completed. Any other thoughts, suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilyum 0 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Does *anyone* running Internet Security version 12.0.27.0 hear a sound played when a Scan is finished or interrupted? (If so, can you please explain [1] how you did it, and [2] where your sounds are coming from?) Thanks in advance! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,497 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I also don't get any audio sound notification when a scan completes on IS 12.0.27. Can't recollect if I did on prior Eset versions or not. This feature has never been a big deal for me since the Eset desktop toolbar icon shows graphically that a scan is underway. When that stops, I know the scan completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get an audible on Eset firewall, HIPS, etc.. alerts. But never as I recollect on scan completions. My best guess is the Windows sound event Eset is using for scan completions is not "*" which is indeed assigned a default audible; i.e. Windows.Background.wav.

I think that explains it , I mute all of the Windows sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomFace 539 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 EIS used to send a sound (an Asterisk I believe) upon scan completion. But that went away sometime during v11 (or with v12). Regards, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,551 Posted November 21, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 21, 2018 There was a bug with the sound signal not being generated at the end of a scan which has been fixed recently. The fix will be included in the next v12 service release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
