My wife told me the scrolling sound of the Jive is ugly. The "duk duk duk" sound sounds like something is about to be broken.
bump.
Mine hates it to, to the extent of not wanting to use it. But no audio feedback is also not acceptable.
I suspect that we can turn the default volume down even more. Richard: Can we turn it down even lower?
We could reduce the default volume more. Wallace, Alan would this please your wifes? I wonder if the real solution is not a new click sound. What do people find acceptable?
It is not the volume, I can turn that down. I think it is the specific sound. Now don't ask me what would be a better sound.
Richard Boland, who did the original sounds, is going to make some alternatives for people to choose from. I suggest a vote on the forums!
punting to 7.3
Can you assist, Mr. Boland? Let us know if you can provide alternative sounds within the next week or so.
Apologies for the delay... I'm on it.
Any news here, Richard and Richard?

Some alternative sounds from Richard are attached. What do people think? I think I prefer the first version attached myself.
Agree. click.wav from clicks_007.zip sounds happier and more upbeat. The one from clicks_008.zip is good too, but less uplifting. The 009 one sounds OK only.
QA to load up some Controllers with these sound sets and show them around for people's judgment.
Richard Boland: I noticed that some of the sounds have a small amount of silence at the beginning of the sound. This should be removed, especially for the click sound, to make it more responsive.
Wheel Click Sound - In-House Survey Current Sound 7 Sound 8 Sound 9 3 7 20 4 Notes: Sound #6 was more 'mechanical'. Several people said that wheel would stick more with this sound Sound #8 was a more 'Electronic' sound. Several people said that wheel would 'flow' better with this sound Sound #8 was like the XBOX 360 sound (3 reports) Dean: Which sound would you like to have set as the new default? or, should we offer more then one for people to use?
With SC 7.3, users are now able to modify the 'sounds' on their controller. Do we need to have this bug open any more? TO change the sound, load SC go to Settings > Advanced > Customize Controller From there you can modify the Wallpaper or Sounds to what ever makes you happy.
Changing target to next release
Didn't we reach a concensus about what sound we were going to use, Dean?
Yes, it's 8. But they should be edited to remove the silence. Can you do this, Richard?

Do you want to commit this to svn, Dean?
Dean - is this ready for svn? Does it need testing after that?
These sound fine to me. Let's get them in and have people listen. Should feel more responsive.
This is already in, I think we agreed to try the new click sound at the last on site.
