The sound effects on Full Tilt have always grated on me, especially that chirpy raise sound and the chip sliding sounds, like squeaky styrofoam to me. Recently I realized I had been playing for about two hours with the volume down and I was amazed at how much more relaxed and calm I was than usual.

Another option is to change the sounds. This is pretty easy to do, though it's not documented. Simply go to \Program Files\full tilt poker\Wave in Windows Exporer and change out the .wav files as you like, substituting different files for the different effects. The files have names which correspond to their function and you can right-click and play the sounds to hear what they are. There are several sounds that come with Windows that are good substitutes. I prefer the sounds on Bodog Poker, so I just copied some of the .wav files from bodog and renamed them to the appropriate names for FT and viola! a whole new sound experience.

Keep in mind sound effects should be short. A sound effect should probably be no longer than 2 seconds. If you substitute your favorite song in for the raise sound don't blame me when things get pretty confusing.

It's good to back up the old files and the new ones. Updates might reset things. No guarantees, but it worked for me.:pcguru:

I always turn off all those annoying sounds and just leave the attention/warning sounds on.

I am with the others, I turn off all sounds when I play. The downside to this is if I'm watching t.v. sometimes I miss when its my turn. Although I don't need to have the avatars off to get better game play they are turned off for less distraction. Sometimes its hard enough to concentrate without me looking at all the different characters and color.

Does that mean I can make Full Tilt play the guitar riff to Led Zeppelin's Black Dog every time I go all in.

Doesn't matter

Doesn't matter much to me as long as I'm playing.That's most important to me in the end when it comes down to it all.As long as I'm playing the game the sounds don't really matter much to me at all.

I like the sounds on Fulltilt. I'd never turn the avatars off either (although I use 'racetrack' them for the tables). There's something to be said for player's choice of avatars on that site (not always.. but sometimes they help to reflect just a little bit of the person's character/personality which tends to lead to particular playing styles... << not always accurate or reliable.. but.. there's a few that for me I've found are pretty much always right in line with my assessment)

So I can hear this everytime I win a pot?

I like, I like! I don't mind sounds at any site but one. You know what's nails on a chalkboard? poker stars 'hurry up and go' screech. Don't know how many times I've made a bad move just to make it stop. Thanks for the help, GCB. I'll try to change it.

Same here usually play with all sounds turned off, so I can listen to music while I play.

I think they have implemented the best sounds around, anyway they become a boredom over time so I usually set the "alert only" sound option.

No sounds, no animation or avatars. Only thing checked are the "tip the dealer" and "smack the dealer", which are used at my discretion.

Really? I'm surprised so many people don't like the sounds. I leave them all on. I guess maybe I'm just used to them...

I leave them all on too & like them & think they're the best of all the sites. Then again, I also leave sounds on DoylesRoom turned on (I like the applause when I rake in a big pot on cash tables, lol).

I like FT's sounds just fine as they are. I'll agree though the Stars hurry up alert is quite jarring, but then again I guess that's by design. It works damn well to get your attention.

To me the most annoying poker room sounds are at Ultimatebet. Thank <diety> I don't play there any more. That truly was like nails on a chalkboard.
