Sound Settings & Features

What sound options are available?

Spin the Names includes customizable sound options to enhance your spinning experience:

  • During-spin sounds: Audio that plays while the wheel is spinning
  • Winner sounds: Celebratory sounds that play when a winner is selected
  • Volume controls: Separate volume settings for both sound types
  • Mute option: Quickly silence all sounds when needed

How do I change the spinning sound?

To customize the sound that plays during spinning:

  1. Click on the settings icon or open the wheel settings panel
  2. Navigate to the "Sound" or "Audio" tab
  3. Select "During Spin Sound" options
  4. Choose from the available sound options in the dropdown menu
  5. Use the volume slider to adjust the during-spin sound volume
  6. Click "Save" or "Apply" to confirm your changes

How do I change the winner sound?

To customize the sound that plays when a winner is selected:

  1. Access the wheel settings panel
  2. Navigate to the "Sound" or "Audio" tab
  3. Select "Winner Sound" options
  4. Choose from the available winner sound effects
  5. Use the volume slider to adjust the winner sound volume
  6. Click "Save" or "Apply" to confirm your changes

Can I control the volume of sounds?

Yes, Spin the Names offers separate volume controls for different sound types:

  • During-spin volume: Controls only the volume of sounds playing while the wheel spins
  • Winner sound volume: Controls only the volume of the sound that plays when a winner is selected
  • Master volume/Mute: Quickly mute or unmute all sounds using the volume icon in the toolbar

These separate controls allow you to customize your audio experience - for example, you might want a subtle sound during spinning but a more prominent celebration sound for winners.

Why aren't sounds playing?

If you're not hearing sounds when using the wheel, check the following:

  • Make sure your device's volume is turned up
  • Check if the app is muted (look for a muted volume icon in the toolbar)
  • Verify that both volume sliders in the sound settings aren't set to zero
  • Ensure your browser allows websites to play audio (check site permissions)
  • Try using a different browser if the issue persists

Are sounds available on all devices?

Sound features are available on most devices and modern browsers. However:

  • Mobile devices may require interaction before sounds can play (due to browser policies)
  • Some older browsers might have limited sound support
  • School or work networks might block audio features
  • Embedded wheels might have restricted sound capabilities

The wheel will still function properly for selection purposes even if sounds are unavailable.
