Windows 7 doesn’t include a way to change the startup sound without using a third-party program. ..

In Windows 8, if you miss your startup sound, you have to enable it in the registry and then run the third-party program. After that, you have to shutdown and restart the computer in a certain way in order to actually hear the sound.

Windows 10

  1. Open the Start Menu and type “cmd” and hit enter.
  2. Type “netstat -an” and hit enter.

Windows XP Startup Sound

To change startup sounds in Windows XP, you can either drag and drop the audio files to the sounds directory or use the Control Panel.

Step 2: Copy the Windows XP Startup.wav and Shutdown.wav files to your computer’s hard drive. Step 3: Open a command prompt and type " wmic create winxp startup " " wmic create winxp shutdown " " cd C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\winxp\startup " " wmic create winxp startup " " wmic create winxp shutdown "

Step 2: Navigate to the folder with the current startup and shutdown Windows sounds, which is C:\Windows\Media. Here you will find the files Windows XP Startup.wav and Windows XP Shutdown.wav along with a bunch of other Windows sounds.

If you create two WAV files from the same audio file and they don’t sound the same, you can revert back to the original sound by moving the two original files from the Media folder to some other backup folder. ..

Step 3: Copy the two renamed files to the C:\Windows\Media folder and restart your computer! You should now hear the new audio play rather than the default sounds.

You can change the default Windows sounds in the same manner as you can change the sound files in the Media folder. Just create a file that has the exact same name as the one in the Media folder and replace it.

The Sounds and Audio Devices tab in the Control Panel allows you to control how your computer sounds. You can choose to turn on or off sound, change the volume, and set a sound preference.

To change the startup sound in Windows 7, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Start menu and click on Control Panel.

Windows 7 Startup Sound

The startup sound is easy to use. Click Play to hear the current startup sound, and Replace to change the startup sound and Restore to revert back to the original startup sound.

To ensure that your computer plays the Windows startup sound, open the Sound Control Panel and check the box next to “Play Windows Startup sound.” ..

However, you still have the extra step of enabling the sounds in the first place in Windows 8 using the registry.

In order to shutdown Windows 8, you have to right-click on the Start Button, choose Shut down or sign out and then click on Shut down.

If you try to shut down using the Start Screen or by going to the Charms bar and clicking on power button, it will perform a hybrid shut down and not play the sound. Here are screenshots so you know exactly what will not work.
