This feature gives you vocal POST messages and alerts to inform you of system events and boot status. In case of a boot failure, you will hear the specific cause of the problem. These POST messages are customizable using the Winbond Voice Editor software that came with your package. You can record your own messages to replace the default messages.

Use a recording software, such as Windows Recorder, to record your messages. It is recommended that you save your files in low quality to keep them small. For example, use 8-bit, mono quality at 22Khz sampling rate. You may want to create a separate folder for your wave files so you can locate them easily in one place. 5. [. . . ]
