Top Questions for Xounds
Will your applications be compatible with Mac OS X 10.6?
We offer complete refunds up to 30 days after the purchase date.
We may refuse a complete refund request (or offer a partial refund only) if the problem that prompted the refund could have occurred before you purchased the software (such as cannot download the software, a problem that occurs within 10 minutes of using it (we offer 15 day trials), or you are running Microsoft Windows)
So please, please download the trial software and make sure it does what you want it to do before purchasing it.
Haxies will slow down application launch times, yes. This happens because the haxie code needs to be initialized when the application loads, so this can add additional overhead of several milliseconds per haxie installed (typically in the range of 20 to 200 milliseconds on a modern Mac, depending on the specific haxie).
Typically you will not notice much, if any, slowdown. Once loaded, haxies stay inactive and will not use any of the processor power unless you use them (collapse a window, browse an Apple menu, etc). Some haxies may slow your system down during active use, such as using large cursors in MIghty Mouse, but these instances are usually noted.
We are constantly working on improving our haxies, so we recommend you to keep an eye on our site or subscribe to our mailing list to always run the latest versions of our products.

Importing from Classic:
Once you download a Classic (Appearance) sound set to your hard drive, choose the "Import From Classic" button from the Settings pane of the Xounds preference pane in System Preferences. It will launch Xounds Importer, an application that will convert the old soundsets. Next simply click choose, browse to, and open the soundset. Next, choose the "Convert" button and it will make the changes needed to work with Xounds. Close the Xounds Importer window and go back to the Settings pane in Xounds. The sound set will then be available from the drop down menu at the top and from the Available Sounds section at the bottom left.
Importing a .xoundset
After downloading a .xoundset file, simply move it to the following location:
~/Library/Xounds/ (you may need to create the "Xounds" folder)
After doing so, it will show up in the Xounds preference pane and you can customize it if you like.
This can happen if the xoundsd daemon (the background process that plays Xounds audio) is stalled for some reason. To fix this, open the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type the following:
killall xoundsd
Hit return on the keyboard and Xounds should start playing immediately.
This can also happen if the Sound Output is set to the wrong audio device on a PowerMac G5 when using digital audio output. To address this, open the System Preferences, click on "Sound", click on the "Output" tab, and make sure that digital audio is selected.
