John, the CM >manual states you can change the sounds to your preference (other than what's in >the game) by going to CHESSMASTER help. Now, I went to CM help and there is >nothing. Do you know how to change a specific sound like the "crashing" sound >used for a check? There should definitely be something in Control Panel\Sounds. You are using XP, so go to "Control Panel -> Sounds, Speech and Audio Drivers -> Change the Sound Scheme -> Sounds Tab". In the "Program Events" list, scroll down until you see the "Chessmaster" section. There should be about 15 different sound types, with 7 or 8 of those being game-specific sounds such as "White Move", "Black Move", "Check", etc. jm
