I might only get one or two director calls in a tournament. So it is easy to be distracted and not notice it.

Is there a way of making the computer give a warning sound when a call is made?

Thanks

Not currently, but this is a frequent request and is on our list of improvements to the TD functions in V3.

Couldn't we just agree to have lamford record the .wav ?

Are there any BBO settings you need to turn on to get these Director Sound Notifications?

I couldn't see any.

The noise I got was the usual TocTic that comes with a blue "BBO thinks you are not reading this" message.
Not ideal, as it is rather bland and lacking in bass tones.
But certainly better than nothing.
I would still prefer a baritone "Director!".

There is only one setting for sounds on/off in the account tab settings. So that means you have to listen to all other sounds as well. Hard to distinguish the director call above them.

There are 6 sound options under settings: Shuffle cards....Round settings.

Which, if any, of these apply to the new director call?

The only version of BBO with fine-grained settings like that is the original Windows download version. The web versions just have "Sound effects on/off".

To be clear then , using the web versions - none of the six sound effects which can be switch on/off independently (Shuffle cards, Your turn to bid or play, Card played, Private chat, Invitation, Round Change) relates to the Director Call?
