The OGG sound files found on This Page, are already named to go with the Camera Files.

Hope this is the right place to ask this - I have recently changed to ogg files for my warnings - my question is can you adjust the volume of the voice as I cannot seems to adjust it - I have a 510 and am most likley just missing an obvious function but please could someone help. Please note i do not wish to adjust the normal direction voice (which I have as silent) just the speed camera warning voice
Many Thanks in advance

You can do this by opening each voice file in a sound editor package on the PC and lower the volume before saving the file WITHOUT changing the file name.
Google "Audacity" as thats a free to use package that can do the above - Mike

First post updated with links to the new .ogg file download pages and a notice that the data.chk file method is no longer supported.

It should work on the TT6 for all platforms - what device are you using and have you re-configured the warnings since adding the ogg files? - Mike

Hi Mike, im using an nokia N95, i dropped the og files in same directory as map as stated, now when i go into add warning i have no option to choose sound just like stated in the instructions, i went for a short drive to test it near some speed cameras and it just made the usual cow/ horn sounds

Any ideas

(just wondering if i used the correct ones text to speech)

I think ive found the answer to my own question
(With the files in place start TomTom Navigator and go to Change Preferences/ Manage POI/ Warn when near POI (this MUST be done even if your camera POI’s have been previously configured).

When you re-configure the warnings you need to go to Change Preferences/ Manage POI/ Warn When Near POI and perform the re-selection on each speed camera POI category you have installed to the device - 24 with the normal Speed Zoned, 33 with the PMobiles included IIRC

Have you done this for each of the installed files?

The fact the device isn't asking for a sound to play is correct, it shouldn't do; the software will recognise the presence of the ogg file and automatically use it - Mike

I sent some modified sounds by email, but they seemed to just drop into a black hole. No confirmation email.. Sad

Also emailed some questions, must have been a couple of months ago...

Is it better to post on the forum instead?
