Hi,
I have been trying to play a short 3 second sound clip while the splash screen shows (my custom splash screen).

I have not been able to find a way to do it - searched the forum, without success, only found a very old thread mentioning "start.wav" to be in the plugin sounds folder.
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=41231

I´m using default Estuary and there is no sounds folder in it´s file structure.
I placed the clips as start.wav and startup.wav in the Kodi/media , Kodi/media/sounds , skin.estuary/media and skin.estuary/media/sounds folder - all without success.

Can anybody tell me how to play an intro sound, preferable while the splash screen shows but I would not even mind if it plays after it ... think most people don´t like a startup sound - but I would ...

Thanks - ksassenf

Wanted to add that I´m running Kodi 21 on Windows ...

Just answering myself:
I found a solution, thanks to user Hitcher pointing me to:
https://kodi.wiki/view/Sounds.xml

I got it working with changing sounds.xml in C:\Program Files\Kodi\addons\resource.uisounds.kodi\resources

First I tried:
<window>
    <name>splash</name>
    <activate>mysound.wav</activate>
</window>

which did not work for me, but

<window>
    <name>startup</name>
    <activate>mysound.wav</activate>
</window>

worked fine and it good enough for me. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Now I have a nice sound when Kodi starts.

Regards - Ksassen

Should be noted some skins allow for this feature (e.g. Aeon Nox 'skin settings' custom/enable start-up video)
