Since modifying the sound settings is a user specific task which does not require any elevated privileges (administrative rights), the modifications done in one user profile do not reflect on the other accounts. This being said, in order to modify the sound settings on multiple accounts that share the same Windows 8/Windows 8.1 computer, the modifications must be made on each account individually.
Here is how you can change the default sound settings in your Windows 8/Windows 8.1 computer:
- Log on to the Windows 8/Windows 8.1 computer with any user account on which you want to modify the default sound settings.
- From the Start screen, click the Desktop tile.
- Once on the desktop window, right-click anywhere.
- From the displayed context menu, click Personalize.
![]()
- From the opened Personalization window, click the Sounds option from the bottom.
![]()
- On the opened Sound box, make sure that the Sounds tab is selected.
- From the displayed interface, you can click to select the different events from the Program Events list.
![]()
- Once an event is selected from the list, you can then pick a sound for the selected event from the Sounds drop-down list.
![]()
- Repeat the same process for other events in the Program Events list to fully customize the entire sound scheme of your Windows 8/Windows 8.1 computer.
10. Once you are satisfied with the customization, you can click the Save As button under the Sound Scheme section on the same interface, and in the available field in the opened box, type a name for the new sound scheme in order to save the customized sound scheme for future uses.
